The impacts of climate change on river flood risk at the global scale (2014)
Journal Article

This paper presents an assessment of the implications of climate change for global river flood risk. It is based on the estimation of flood frequency relationships at a grid resolution of 0.5×0.5°, using a global hydrological model with climate scena...

First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble (2014)
Journal Article

Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation events, which is likely to affect the probability of flooding into the future. In this paper we use river flow simulatio... Read More about First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble.

Hydrological droughts in the 21st century, hotspots and uncertainties from a global multimodel ensemble experiment (2014)
Journal Article

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are expected to modify the global water cycle with significant consequences for terrestrial hydrology. We assess the impact of climate change on hydrological droughts in a multimodel exp...

A glossary for biometeorology (2014)
Journal Article

Here we present, for the first time, a glossary of biometeorological terms. The glossary aims to address the need for a reliable source of biometeorological definitions, thereby facilitating communication and mutual understanding in this rapidly expa...

Global-scale climate impact functions: the relationship between climate forcing and impact (2014)
Journal Article

Although there is a strong policy interest in the impacts of climate change corresponding to different degrees of climate change, there is so far little consistent empirical evidence of the relationship between climate forcing and impact. This is bec... Read More about Global-scale climate impact functions: the relationship between climate forcing and impact.

Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world (2013)
Journal Article

The impacts of global climate change on different aspects of humanity's diverse life-support systems are complex and often difficult to predict. To facilitate policy decisions on mitigation and adaptation strategies, it is necessary to understand, qu... Read More about Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world.

Constraints and potentials of future irrigation water availability on agricultural production under climate change (2013)
Journal Article

We compare ensembles of water supply and demand projections from 10 global hydrological models and six global gridded crop models. These are produced as part of the Inter-Sectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project, with coordination from the Agri...

Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (2013)
Journal Article

Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries today. Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally, increase the pressure on available water resources. On the supply side, ren...

Global multimodel analysis of drought in runofffor the second half of the twentieth century (2013)
Journal Article

During the past decades large-scale models have been developed to simulate global and continental terrestrial water cycles. It is an open question whether these models are suitable to capture hydrological drought, in terms of runoff, on a global scal...

A global assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a global scale assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity. Patterns of climate change from 21 Global Climate Models (GCMs) under four SRES scenarios are applied to a global hydrological model to estimate water re...

The AVOID programme's new simulations of the global benefits of stringent climate change mitigation (2013)
Journal Article

Quantitative simulations of the global-scale benefits of climate change mitigation are presented, using a harmonised, self-consistent approach based on a single set of climate change scenarios. The approach draws on a synthesis of output from both ph... Read More about The AVOID programme's new simulations of the global benefits of stringent climate change mitigation.

Climate change impact on available water resources obtained using multiple global climate and hydrology models (2013)
Journal Article

Climate change is expected to alter the hydrological cycle resulting in large-scale impacts on water availability. However, future climate change impact assessments are highly uncertain. For the first time, multiple global climate (three) and hydrolo... Read More about Climate change impact on available water resources obtained using multiple global climate and hydrology models.

The impacts of climate change on river flow regimes at the global scale (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents an assessment of the impacts of climate change on a series of indicators of hydrological regimes across the global domain, using a global hydrological model run with climate scenarios constructed using pattern-scaling from 21 CMIP...

Assessment of uncertainty in river flow projections for the Mekong River using multiple GCMs and hydrological models (2013)
Journal Article

Hydrological model-related uncertainty is often ignored within climate change hydrological impact assessments. A MIKE SHE model is developed for the Mekong using the same data as an earlier semi-distributed, conceptual model (SLURP). The model is cal...

The SSC: A decade of climate-health research and future directions (2013)
Journal Article

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the development of the revised Spatial Synoptic Classification, the "SSC", by Scott Sheridan. This daily weather-type classification scheme has become one of the key analytical tools implemented in a diverse r...
