DOI: 10.1007/s00704-018-2664-5
Abstract: The recent finding of the influence of long-term persistence (LTP) in time series on trend significance has made the past findings of climatic trends in the Nile river basin (NRB) disputable. Four versions of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-022-02387-9
Abstract: Biodiversity is in global decline during the Anthropocene. Declines have been caused by multiple factors, such as habitat removal, invasive species, and disease, which are often targets for conservation management. However, conservation interventions are under… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12040-020-1359-3
Abstract: High-quality daily climate parameters were prepared from 71 stations across Turkey for assessment of the long-term changes in weather extremes from 1961 to 2016. Results of temperature extremes showed that warm extremes had more significant… read more here.

Trends in surface equivalent potential temperature: A more comprehensive metric for global warming and weather extremes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"
DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2117832119
Abstract: Significance The Earth has warmed by 1.2 ± 0.1 °C since the preindustrial era. The most common metric to measure the ongoing global warming is surface air temperature since it has long and reliable observational… read more here.

Wearables for Measuring Health Effects of Climate Change–Induced Weather Extremes: Scoping Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "JMIR mHealth and uHealth"
DOI: 10.2196/39532
Abstract: Background Although climate change is one of the biggest global health threats, individual-level and short-term data on direct exposure and health impacts are still scarce. Wearable electronic devices (wearables) present a potential solution to this… read more here.

Death Zone Weather Extremes Mountaineers Have Experienced in Successful Ascents
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.696335
Abstract: Background Few data are available on mountaineers’ survival prospects in extreme weather above 8000 m (the Death Zone). We aimed to assess Death Zone weather extremes experienced in climbing-season ascents of Everest and K2, all… read more here.
