DOI: 10.1109/jstars.2025.3610155
Abstract: Compound drought and heatwave events (CDHWs) are increasing in frequency across dryland ecosystems, yet their impacts on vegetation remain insufficiently studied. In this study, we develop a new CDHWs index that integrates a four-day standardized… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos15121459
Abstract: Drought is typically divided into meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic categories. Generally, the transition from meteorological drought to other types of droughts is known as drought propagation. When drought propagation occurs, different types of droughts… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/nhess-24-1975-2024
Abstract: Abstract. The co-occurrence of meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological droughts (multivariate compound droughts) in Switzerland during growing season is problematic due to limitations in water abstractions from rivers during low-flow periods, while at the same time… read more here.
