Global average temperature, frequency of temperature extremes and amplitude of daily fluctuations are all expected to change under prospected scenarios of climate change. The amplitudes of temperature variation and the ability of species to tolerate thermal stress are crucial for species fitness and survival in rapidly changing environments. Small ...

Lake sediment budgeting is a vital tool to better understand catchment sediment fluxes. It allows assessing lake lifetime and can be used to design improved catchment management plans. Over the past few years, we collected sediment and runoff discharge data at fine spatial-temporal resolutions for the Lake Tana Basin (LTB), Ethiopia. Based on these...

This study conducts a detection and attribution analysis of the observed changes in boreal spring snow-cover extent (SCE) for an extended period of 1925-2019 for early spring (March and April) and 1970-2019 for late spring (May and June) using updated observations and multimodel simulations from phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ...

The exposure order may strongly affect the impact of stressors, yet is largely ignored for the frequently occurring combinations of toxicants with natural stressors. We tested how exposure order shaped the interactive effects of serial exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos and to a heat spike in the larvae of the mosquito Culex pipiens. Notably, t...
Climate extremes will be intensified and become more frequent One of the regions where this is the case is the US. Gulf coast region. This region is susceptible to the impacts of climate extremes. This region has recently experienced large amounts of economic damages caused by high-impact hurricanes and floods. Meanwhile, drought can also pose seri...
