Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the
spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming …

An intensified hydrological cycle with global warming is expected to increase the intensity
and frequency of extreme precipitation events. However, whether and to what extent the …

Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for
increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

Renewable sources of electricity, such as solar and wind, need to be paired with sources of
reliable baseload. Hydropower is a renewable, low‐emission source of electricity baseload …
