Mortality impacts of the most extreme heat events
Extreme heat threatens human life, evidenced by >260,000 heat-related fatalities collectively in the deadliest events since 2000. In this Review…
Daytime urban heat stress in North America reduced by irrigation
There is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of irrigation on heat stress, partly stemming from the choice of heat stress index. Moreover…
Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins
Surface crevassing on the Greenland Ice Sheet is a large source of uncertainty in processes controlling mass loss due to a lack of comprehensive ob…
Past hydroclimate extremes in Europe driven by Atlantic jet stream and recurrent weather patterns
The jet stream over the Atlantic–European sector is relevant for weather and climate in Europe. It generates temperature extremes and steers mois…
Integrated irrigation and nitrogen optimization is a resource-efficient adaptation strategy for US maize and soybean production
Climate change poses substantial challenges to agriculture and crop production, but the combined role of nitrogen and water inputs in adaptation ha…
Cost-effective adaptations increase rice production while reducing pollution under climate change
Rice is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and nitrogen pollution. While best management practices have been developed to enhance the sustainab…
Climate change threatens crop diversity at low latitudes
Climate change alters the climatic suitability of croplands, likely shifting the spatial distribution and diversity of global food crop production.…
