Abstract Thousands of glacier lakes have been forming behind natural dams in high mountains following glacier retreat since the early 20th century. Some of these lakes abruptly released pulses of water and sediment with disastrous downstream consequences. Yet it remains unclear whether the reported rise of these glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has been fueled by a warming atmosphere and enhanced meltwater production, or simply a growing research effort. Here we estimate trends and biases…

The emergence of flash drought has attracted widespread attention due to its rapid onset. However, little is known about the recent evolution of flash droughts in terms of the speed of onset and the causes of such a rapid onset phase of flash droughts. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of the onset development of flash droughts and the underlying mechanisms on a global scale. We find that 33.64-46.18% of flash droughts with 5-day onset of drying, and there is a significant increasin…

European beech (Fagus sylvatica) was among the most affected tree species during the severe 2018 European drought. It not only suffered from instant physiological stress but also showed severe symptoms of defoliation and canopy decline in the following year. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we used the Swiss-Canopy-Crane II site and studied in branches of healthy and symptomatic trees the repair of hydraulic function and concentration of carbohydrates during the 2018 drought and in 2019….

Matched topics: drought

Unprecedented tree dieback across Central Europe caused by recent global change-type drought events highlights the need for a better mechanistic understanding of drought-induced tree mortality. Although numerous physiological risk factors have been identified, the importance of two principal mechanisms, hydraulic failure and carbon starvation, is still debated. It further remains largely unresolved how the local neighborhood composition affects individual mortality risk. We studied 9435 young…

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, drought

Drought is the most expensive natural hazard and one of the deadliest. While drought propagation through standardised indices has been extensively studied at the regional scale, global scale drought propagation, and particularly quantifying the space and time variability, is still a challenging task. Quantifying the space time variability is crucial to understand how droughts have changed globally in order to cope with their impacts. In particular, better understanding of the propagation of d…

A growing body of research has documented the phenomenon of climate change anxiety (CCA), defined broadly as negative cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses associated with concerns about climate change. A recently validated scale of CCA indicated two subscales: cognitive emotional impairment and functional impairment (Clayton & Karazsia, 2020). However, there are few empirical studies on CCA to date and little evidence regarding whether CCA is associated with psychiatric symptoms, in…

Climate Change Risk and the Cost of Mortgage Credit

Authors: Duc Duy Nguyen, Steven Ongena, Shusen Qi, Vathunyoo Sila

Journal: European Finance Review · DOI: 10.1093/rof/rfac013 · Citations: 216

Matched topics: climate change

Abstract We show that lenders charge higher interest rates for mortgages on properties exposed to a greater risk of sea level rise (SLR). This SLR premium is not evident in short-term loans and is not related to borrowers’ short-term realized default or creditworthiness. Further, the SLR premium is smaller when the consequences of climate change are less salient and in areas with more climate change deniers. Overall, our results suggest that mortgage lenders view the risk of SLR as a long-ter…

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract Rapid ice loss is occurring in the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This ice loss is assumed to be a long‐term response to oceanographic forcing, but ocean conditions in the Amundsen Sea are unknown prior to 1994. Here we present a modeling study of Amundsen Sea conditions from 1920 to 2013, using an ensemble of ice‐ocean simulations forced by climate model experiments. We find that during the early twentieth century, the Amundsen Sea likely experienced more susta…

Relationships between climate change perceptions and climate adaptation actions: policy support, information seeking, and behaviour

Authors: Anne M. van Valkengoed, Goda Perlaviciute, Linda Steg

Journal: Climatic Change · DOI: 10.1007/s10584-022-03338-7 · Citations: 71

Matched topics: climate change

Abstract People are increasingly exposed to climate-related hazards, including floods, droughts, and vector-borne diseases. A broad repertoire of adaptation actions is needed to adapt to these various hazards. It is therefore important to identify general psychological antecedents that motivate people to engage in many different adaptation actions, in response to different hazards, and in different contexts. We examined if people’s climate change perceptions act as such general antecedents. Q…

Deep Learning for Improving Numerical Weather Prediction of Heavy Rainfall

Authors: Philipp Hess, Niklas Boers

Journal: Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems · DOI: 10.1029/2021ms002765 · Citations: 105

Matched topics: hydrology

Abstract The accurate prediction of rainfall, and in particular of the heaviest rainfall events, remains challenging for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. This may be due to subgrid‐scale parameterizations of processes that play a crucial role in the multi‐scale dynamics generating rainfall, as well as the strongly intermittent nature and the highly skewed, non‐Gaussian distribution of rainfall. Here we show that a U‐Net‐based deep neural network can learn heavy rainfall events from …

FV-UAS can follow f-URS to cross the UPJ and into the renal pelvis and calices, avoiding the interference of UPJ in controlling IRP. FV-UAS can actively control the IRP to be reduced to the desired range by adjusting the negative value under any irrigation fluid velocity. FV-UAS close to the stone can achieve complete stone-free status in RIRS.

The Ecological Retreat (ER) project significantly impacts water conservation functions in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). However, studies on the impact and benefit of different ER modes on ecological water effects still lack systematic and integral disclosure. In our study, CNLUCC (China land use/cover data sets) and the Markov transition matrix were used to simulate land pattern changes from 2000 to 2018. Water yield was chosen as an indicator of water conservation to explore the impact of th…


Recent decadal weakening of the summer Eurasian westerly jet attributable to anthropogenic aerosol emissions

Authors: Buwen Dong, Rowan Sutton, Len Shaffrey, Ben Harvey

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28816-5 · Citations: 84

Matched topics: earth system model

The Eurasian subtropical westerly jet (ESWJ) is a major feature of the summertime atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. Here, we demonstrate a robust weakening trend in the summer ESWJ over the last four decades, linked to significant impacts on extreme weather. Analysis of climate model simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) suggests that anthropogenic aerosols were likely the primary driver of the weakening ESWJ. Warming over mid-high latitu…


Relative importance of high-latitude local and long-range-transported dust for Arctic ice-nucleating particles and impacts on Arctic mixed-phase clouds

Authors: Yang Shi, Xiaohong Liu, Mingxuan Wu, Xi Zhao, Ziming Ke, Hunter Brown

Journal: Atmospheric chemistry and physics · DOI: 10.5194/acp-22-2909-2022 · Citations: 74

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract. Dust particles, serving as ice-nucleating particles (INPs), may impact the Arctic surface energy budget and regional climate by modulating the mixed-phase cloud properties and lifetime. In addition to long-range transport from low-latitude deserts, dust particles in the Arctic can originate from local sources. However, the importance of high-latitude dust (HLD) as a source of Arctic INPs (compared to low-latitude dust, LLD) and its effects on Arctic mixed-phase clouds are overlooked…


Possibility for strong northern hemisphere high-latitude cooling under negative emissions

Authors: Jörg Schwinger, Ali Asaadi, Nadine Goris, Hanna Lee

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28573-5 · Citations: 72

Matched topics: earth system model

removal with one of these models indicate that the timing of negative emissions relative to AMOC decline and recovery is key in setting the strength of the temporary cooling. We show that the pronounced temperature-fluctuations at high northern latitudes found in these simulations would entail considerable consequences for sea-ice and permafrost extent as well as for high latitude ecosystems.


Linkage and driving mechanisms of antibiotic resistome in surface and ground water: Their responses to land use and seasonal variation.

Authors: Lu Zhang, Lei Ji, Xi Liu, Xue Zhu, Kang Ning, Zhi Wang

Journal: Water Research · DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.118279 · Citations: 71

Matched topics: seasonal

Antibiotic resistance in the environment, mostly mediated by antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), has posed a threat to ecological and human health. Contamination of surface water and groundwater with ARGs has become a serious environmental concern. However, the distinctions and similarities across ARG profiles, the various ecological processes associated with ARGs, the driving mechanisms for ARG profiles in surface water and groundwater, and how they respond to land use and seasonal variation…


Wastewater reuse for irrigation of produce: A review of research, regulations, and risks.

Authors: M. Partyka, Ronald F Bond

Journal: Science of the Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154385 · Citations: 68

Matched topics: irrigation

The burden of disease caused by the contamination of ready-to-eat produce with common waterborne microbial pathogens suggests that irrigation supplies should be closely monitored and regulated. Simultaneously freshwater resources have become increasingly scarce worldwide while global demand continues to grow. Since the turn of the 20th century with the advent of modern wastewater treatment plants, the reuse of treated wastewater is considered a safe and viable water source for irrigation of r…
