Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

The interaction of gradual climate trends and extreme weather events since the turn of the
century has triggered complex and, in some cases, catastrophic ecological responses …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Disastrous bushfires during the last months of 2019 and January 2020 affected Australia,
raising the question to what extent the risk of these fires was exacerbated by anthropogenic …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have been observed around the world and are expected to
increase in intensity and frequency under anthropogenic climate change. A variety of …

Severe, extreme, and exceptional heat waves, such as those that occurred over the Balkans
(2007), France (2003), or Russia (2010), are associated with increased mortality, human …

Abstract The Paris Agreement calls for global warming to be limited to 1.5–2° C. For the first
time, this study investigates how different regional heatwave characteristics (intensity …

Heatwaves impose disastrous impacts over human, natural and industrial systems across
the globe. Over a relatively short period of time, there has been considerable advancement …

Reviewing recent literature, we report that changes in extreme heat event characteristics
such as magnitude, frequency, and duration are highly sensitive to changes in mean global …
