A quantitative evaluation of the issue of drought definition: A source of disagreement in future drought assessments (2021)
Journal Article

Droughts are anticipated to intensify in many parts of the world due to climate change. However, the issue of drought definition, namely the diversity of drought indices, makes it difficult to compare drought assessments. This issue is widely known,...

Effects of climate change on combined labour productivity and supply: an empirical, multi-model study (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Although effects on labour is one of the most tangible and attributable climate impact, our quantification of these effects is insufficient and based on weak methodologies. Partly, this gap is due to the inability to resolve different imp... Read More about Effects of climate change on combined labour productivity and supply: an empirical, multi-model study.

Understanding each other’s models: an introduction and a standard representation of 16 global water models to support intercomparison, improvement, and communication (2021)
Journal Article

Global water models (GWMs) simulate the terrestrial water cycle on the global scale and are used to assess the impacts of climate change on freshwater systems. GWMs are developed within different modelling frameworks and consider different underlying...

Globally observed trends in mean and extreme river flow attributed to climate change (2021)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to affect global river flow. Here, we analyze time series of low, mean, and high river flows from 7250 observatories around the world covering the years 1971 to 2010. We identify spatially complex trend patter...

Uncertainty of simulated groundwater recharge at different global warming levels: A global-scale multi-model ensemble study (2021)
Journal Article

Billions of people rely on groundwater as being an accessible source of drinking water and for irrigation, especially in times of drought. Its importance will likely increase with a changing climate. It is still unclear, however, how climate change w... Read More about Uncertainty of simulated groundwater recharge at different global warming levels: A global-scale multi-model ensemble study.

Global terrestrial water storage and drought severity under climate change (2021)
Journal Article

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) modulates the hydrological cycle and is a key determinant of water availability and an indicator of drought. While historical TWS variations have been increasingly studied, future changes in TWS and the linkages to dro...

Projecting Exposure to Extreme Climate Impact Events Across Six Event Categories and Three Spatial Scales (2020)
Journal Article

©2020. The Authors. The extent and impact of climate-related extreme events depend on the underlying meteorological, hydrological, or climatological drivers as well as on human factors such as land use or population density. Here we quantify the pure... Read More about Projecting Exposure to Extreme Climate Impact Events Across Six Event Categories and Three Spatial Scales.

How evaluation of global hydrological models can help to improve credibility of river discharge projections under climate change (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Importance of evaluation of global hydrological models (gHMs) before doing climate impact assessment was underlined in several studies. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of six gHMs in simulating o...

Using Recurrent Neural Network for Intelligent Prediction of Water Level in Reservoirs (2020)
Conference Proceeding

© 2020 IEEE. Water resources management over long term has faced a great challenge due to the increasing demands on water from a growing number of population and a huge variance of water usage in different time and place. Therefore, a new time series... Read More about Using Recurrent Neural Network for Intelligent Prediction of Water Level in Reservoirs.

Global Heat Uptake by Inland Waters (2020)
Journal Article

©2020. The Authors. Heat uptake is a key variable for understanding the Earth system response to greenhouse gas forcing. Despite the importance of this heat budget, heat uptake by inland waters has so far not been quantified. Here we use a unique com... Read More about Global Heat Uptake by Inland Waters.
