The recent catastrophic wildfire in Hawaii is an example of climate change driving compound events. The past few weeks have brought light to the stark increase in the frequency and intensity of ...

Anthropogenic climate change has led to rapid and widespread changes in the atmosphere, land, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere, leading to more pronounced weather and climate extremes globally. Recent ...

The western Pacific Ocean is the global center for marine biodiversity, with high vulnerability to climate change. A better understanding of the spatiotemporal characteristics and potential drivers of ...

a and b, spatial patterns of the difference in recovery time between hot-dry and dry events (ΔRT = RT hot-dry-RT dry) based on the NDVI and LAI, respectively. c and d, ΔRT under different aridity ...

The stressors imposed by warming ocean temperatures, low oxygen, and ocean acidification can be compounded by short term marine heat wave extreme events with devastating effects on marine ecosystems.

When marine heatwaves and ocean acidity extreme events co-occur, it can have severe impacts on marine ecosystems. Researchers have determined for the first time the frequency and drivers of these ...

To address key knowledge gaps related to compound risk, this report by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s IVM Institute for Environmental Studies and World Bank’s Global Crisis Risk Platform (GCRP) ...
