Agriculture is an important part of the economy of southwestern United States (Southwest). The production of food and fiber in the Southwest is supported by irrigation, much of which is sourced from groundwater. Climate projections suggest an increas...

Climate change affects tree species, altering their growth and distribution, with effects varying by region, although mostly negative in the Mediterranean. This study examines 27 tree species in central Iberia, in a continental Mediterranean climate,...

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant issue facing humanity. The World Health Organization (WHO) designates climate change as the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century. Bulgaria is under imminent threat from climat...

As global warming continues, extremes in key climate parameters will become more frequent. These extremes are one of the main challenges for the sustainability of cities. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of the evolution of...

In recent years, particularly in 2024, there has been an escalation in the frequency and intensity of megafires in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. This state, the most industrialized in the country, has seen extensive land-use changes in recen...

The spatial distribution of rainfall intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) values, essential for hydrological applications, were estimated for Catalunya, Spain. From a larger database managed by the Meteorological Service of Catalunya and af...

Projecting future changes in monsoon rainfall is crucial for effective water resource management, food security, and livestock sustainability in South Asia. This study assesses precipitation, total cloud cover (categorized by cloud top pressure), and...

The rise in Earth’s temperature is capable of influencing the occurrence of catastrophic natural events, contributing to outbreaks of arboviruses in endemic areas and new geographical regions. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric review a...

The rising surface temperatures driven by climate change have resulted in significant reductions in snow depth and snow cover duration globally, with pronounced impacts on snow-dependent regions. This study focuses on Greece, a region where snow play...

Accurate crop yield prediction and modeling are essential for ensuring food security, optimizing resource allocation, and guiding policy decisions in agriculture, ultimately benefiting society at large. With the increasing threat of weather change, i...

We present a systematic review of peer-reviewed research into ways to mitigate the spread of manipulative information about climate change on social media (n = 38). Such information may include disinformation, harmful influence campaigns, or the unin...

The pastoral areas of Ethiopia are facing a recurrent drought crisis that significantly affects the availability of water resources for communities dependent on livestock. Despite the urgent need for effective drought early warning systems, Ethiopia&...

The relocation of Indonesia’s capital to Nusantara in East Kalimantan has raised concerns about microclimatic impacts resulting from proposed land use and land cover (LULC) changes. This study explored strategies to mitigate these impacts by us...

In 2021, Winter Storm Uri severely affected several Texan agricultural sectors, including dairy production. To understand how dairy producers experienced this extreme weather event, this qualitative phenomenological case study explored perceptions of...

Climate change is profoundly impacting snow-dependent regions, altering hydrological cycles and threatening water security. This study examines the relationships between snow water equivalent (SWE), snow cover, temperature, and wind speed in Jammu an...

Climate change is known to have an impact on human health, including mental health. To better understand this phenomenon, the Climate Change Worry Scale (CCWS), a 10-item questionnaire, was developed to assess climate change worry as a psychological...

(1) Background: Global warming has intensified dry heatwaves, threatening urban tree health and ecosystem services. Crown damage in trees is a key indicator of heat stress, linked to physiological changes and urban habitat characteristics, but the sp...

In this work, the preindustrial control (piControl) and Historical experiments results from climatic Earth system models participating in the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) are analyzed for their ability to predict t...

One of the main differences between regional climate model and convection-permitting model simulations is not just how well topographic characteristics are represented, but also how deep convection is treated. The convection process frequently occurs...

This study explores the predictability of monthly asthma notifications using models built from different machine learning techniques in Maceió, a municipality with a tropical climate located in the northeast of Brazil. Two sets of predictors w...

Malaria, a climate-sensitive mosquito-borne disease, is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, and its elimination is a global health priority. Malaria is endemic to Vanuatu, where elimination campaigns have been implemented with varied succ...

The precipitation in the Mediterranean region, characterised by its annual variability and concentration in high-intensity events, is a key factor in territorial planning and the management of runoff in urban areas, particularly on the Spanish Medite...
