The extent to which climate change has affected the course of human evolution is an enduring
question. The ability to maintain spatially extensive social networks and a fluid social …

Abstract Changes in extreme precipitation should be one of the primary impacts of climate
change (CC) in urban areas. To assess these impacts, rainfall data from climate models are …

Assessment of past anthropogenic modifications of land-cover dynamics is key to understanding
the human role in the Earth system. Recent advances in palaeoenvironmental sciences …

In low-lying coastal areas, the co-occurrence of high sea level and precipitation resulting in
large runoff may cause compound flooding (CF). When the two hazards interact, the resulting …

Compound events (CEs) are multivariate extreme events in which the individual contributing
variables may not be extreme themselves, but their joint – dependent – occurrence causes …

Climate change may alter the geographical pattern and intensity of near-surface winds
which are the “fuel” for wind turbines. In a context of fast current and planned development of …

Global climate models (GCMs) are the primary tools to simulate multi-decadal climate
dynamics and to generate global climate change projections under different future emission …

Statistical methods to bias correct global or regional climate model output are now common
to get data closer to observations in distribution. However, most bias correction (BC) …

Societally relevant weather impacts typically result from compound events, which are rare
combinations of weather and climate drivers. Focussing on four event types arising from …

ERA-40 reanalyses, and simulations from three regional climate models (RCMs) (ALADIN,
LMDZ, and WRF) and from one statistical downscaling model (CDF-t) are used to evaluate …
