As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme
precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings …

Extremes in temperature and precipitation are associated with damaging floods, prolonged
drought, destructive wildfires, agricultural challenges, compromised human health …

Convective available potential energy (CAPE), a metric associated with severe weather, is
expected to increase with warming, but we have lacked a framework that describes its …

Modeled global warming is often quantified using global near-surface air temperature (T as).
Meanwhile, long-term temperature datasets combine observations of T as over land with sea …

Increasing temperatures caused by anthropogenic climate change are leading to changes in
the composition of local communities across biomes. This has implications for ecological …

Warming has already changed the patterns of precipitation and increased the risk of extreme
climate events. An assessment of the influences from anthropogenic and natural forcings on …

Introduction Weather-based index insurance is a financial instrument which allows
smallholder farmers to protect themselves against climate shocks such as droughts and …

The escalating frequency of climate change-induced droughts poses a severe threat to
rainfed maize cultivation in Thailand's upper Nan River Basin (NRB). Utilizing the …

Convective available potential energy (CAPE), a metric associated with severe weather, is
expected to increase with warming. Under the most widely-accepted theory, developed for …

The goal of this dissertation is to understand how and why bird populations respond to
precipitation. Bird responses to precipitation have been reported from most biomes, but the …
