Even though it is known that urbanization affects rainfall, studies vary regarding the
magnitude and location of rainfall change. To develop a comprehensive understanding of …

In Mexico, one hundred of the 188 most important aquifers dedicated to agriculture and
human consumption are over-exploited and 32 are affected by seawater intrusion in coastal …

Correlations of the urban heat island intensity (UHII) and key surface variables with the short-
duration intense rainfall (SDIR) events are examined for the Beijing urban areas by applying …

Changes in land cover and aerosols resulting from urbanization may impact convective
clouds and precipitation. Here we investigate how Houston urbanization can modify sea …

Quantifying the impact of urbanization on extreme climate events is significant for ecosystem
responses, flood control, and urban planners. This study aimed to examine the urbanization …

Applying the homogenized daily data during 1970–2019, this study examined the
urbanization effects on changes in a set of extreme climate indices for large cities across …
