Scientists' warning on climate change and insects
Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Prediction and projection of heatwaves
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 …

Increasing probability of record-shattering climate extremes
Recent climate extremes have broken long-standing records by large margins. Such
extremes unprecedented in the observational period often have substantial impacts due to a …

Warming weakens the night-time barrier to global fire
Night-time provides a critical window for slowing or extinguishing fires owing to the lower
temperature and the lower vapour pressure deficit (VPD). However, fire danger is most often …

Localized synergies between heat waves and urban heat islands: Implications on human thermal comfort and urban heat management
Heat waves (HWs) and urban heat islands (UHIs) can potentially interact. The mechanisms
behind their synergy are not fully disclosed. Starting from the localized UHI phenomenon …
