Description
Abstract: Earth System Models’ complex land components simulate a patchwork of increases and decreases in surface water availability when driven by projected future climate changes. Yet, commonly-used simple theories for surface water availability...

Description
The electric power system plays an integral part in the well-being of the modern society. Because of climate change, the ageing power system infrastructure is under threat due to the ever-increasing intensity and frequency of high-impact, low-prob...

Description
The response of the atmospheric circulation to global warming is still not well known. A specific area of interest is the westerlies of the Northern Hemisphere, most notably the strengthening or weakening of the westerlies, which could change mid-...

Description
Increases in summer humidity are a basic threat to human survival, because the body cannot shed heat by sweating if absolute humidity is too high. However, climate change trends and patterns of extreme humidity have been much less studied than tho...
