Drought and pluvial transitions have attracted widespread attention. However, the dynamic evolution and underlying mechanisms of drought and pluvial transitions remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that there is a significant increase in the occurrence of drought and pluvial transitions (0.24−1.03% per year) globally during 1980−2020. We use convergent cross mapping to detect causal relationships between time series variables in the climate system and find that drought and pluvial t…

Abstract. Multivariate or compound hydrological-extreme events such as successive floods, large-scale droughts, or consecutive drought-to-flood events challenge water management and can be particularly impactful. Still, the multivariate nature of floods and droughts is often ignored by studying individual characteristics only, which can lead to the under- or overestimation of risk. Studying multivariate extremes is challenging because of variable dependencies and because they are even less ab…

Abstract. Despite their small spatial extent, fluvial ecosystems play a significant role in processing and transporting carbon in aquatic networks, which results in substantial emission of methane (CH4) into the atmosphere. For this reason, considerable effort has been put into identifying patterns and drivers of CH4 concentrations in streams and rivers and estimating fluxes to the atmosphere across broad spatial scales. However, progress toward these ends has been slow because of pronounced …
