Extreme climatic events (ECEs) are increasing in frequency, intensity, and/or duration due to climate change. These large deviations from average environmental conditions have strong impacts on ecosystems, expo
revealing that the frequency of extreme events (≥99.99th percentile) increased by 2.2-fold from 2003 to 2023, with the last 7 years including the 6 most extreme. Although the total area burned on Earth may be declining, our study highlights that fire behaviour is worsening in several regio...

Trends of the most extreme wildfires on Earth. (a) The frequency of extreme wildfire events, including during both day and night. (b) The average intensity (MW) of the 20 most extreme events in each year. Values for 2023 do not include December because those data were not available at ...
Beyond gradual changes in temperature and precipitation, one of the most harmful consequences of climate change for birds may be the increasing frequency, intensity and duration of extreme climatic events (herein, “extreme events”), such as heatwaves and droughts14,15,16,17. Recent studies have...
With wildfires, heat waves, and tornadoes on the rise, welfare organizations in the U.S. are overwhelmed caring for displaced dogs, cats, and other animals.
Identified focal areas in current research activities on extreme events are discussed in regards to issues of definitions and mathematical comprehension, extreme events and their impact in nature, and the interrelation of extremes and humans, including impacts on humans, extremes in human cognition, ...
Documenting the ecological importance of these rare events is difficult , but essential, as the frequency of extreme events is predicted to increase under many climate change scenarios. 2. We quantified changes in stream insect resource use following intense, nonseasonal flooding in the Rocky ...
In addition to the planetary waves connection, the study also shows that extreme rainfall events are increasing faster in the Balkans than the global average rate. While the mean daily rainfall in the Balkans has increased only a little since 1950, the intensity of the strongest rainfall events...
Extreme El Niño events cause global disruption of weather patterns and affect ecosystems and agriculture through changes in rainfall. Model projections show that a doubling in the occurrence of such extreme episodes is caused by increased surface warm
