Climate change is exacerbating wildfire conditions, but evidence is lacking for global trends in extreme fire activity itself. Here we identify energetically extreme wildfire events by calculating daily clusters of summed fire radiative power using 21 years of satellite data, revealing that the frequen...
climateclimatic changeextreme eventsstatistical analysesThis short introductory paper illustrates some key issues concerning extremes by focusing on daily temperature extremes defined using quantiles and threshold exceedances. The examples include both a low- and a high-elevation site in the Swiss Alps ...

Warming sea waters and more frequent extreme weather events are affecting animals as much as humans, so, in this programme, we’ll be asking ‘can animals evolve to deal with climate change?’ Rob But first I have a question fo...
Ocean – atmosphere interactions have significant effects on climate variability, with extremes in atmospheric conditions playing a key role. Atmospheric extreme events have been associated with major marine ecosystem regime shifts and unusual weather patterns. Regime shifts may be defined as abrupt change...
The genusHomoevolved during the Pleistocene — an epoch of gradual cooling and amplification of glacial cycles. The changing climates influenced early human survival, adaptation and evolution in complex ways. In this Review, we present current knowledge about the effects of past climate changes on th...
Warming sea waters and more frequent extreme weather events are affecting animals as much as humans, so, in this programme, we’ll be asking ‘can animals evolve to deal with climate change?’ Rob But first I have a question for you, Sam, and it’s about Charles Darwin’s trip to the...
Climate change projections suggest an increase in days conducive to extreme wildfire events by 20 to 50% in these disaster-prone landscapes, with sharper increases in the subtropical Southern Hemisphere and European Mediterranean Basin. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your ...
But while ongoing anthropogenic loss of PGD is being documented11,12,13, efforts to detect climate change effects on PGD are taxonomically and geographically limited14,15 and are absent from international biodiversity agreements. Populations in extreme climatic conditions, such as those near trailing ...
