Enso’s influence on co-occurring hot-dry and hot-wet extremes across global croplands
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key driver of global climate variability. Through its teleconnections, ENSO influences precipitation and temperature worldwide, yet its influence on compound extremes across agricultural systems is less well explored. Here, we examine ENSO’s influence on co-occurring hot-dry (HD) and hot-wet (HW) extreme events across global croplands, given their potential risks for food production. HD events can inte…
Healing the healers: How Empathy, Active Coping and Mindfulness Drive Well-Being and Happiness of Healthcare Employees
Purpose Healthcare professionals face high job demands, which lead to emotional exhaustion and reduced well-being. Although the job demands-resources (JD-R) framework has been widely studied, limited research has examined the role of personal resources, such as empathy, active coping and mindfulness, in shaping healthcare workers’ well-being and happiness. This study explores how these personal resources interact with job demands and job resource…
Widening geographic range of Rift Valley fever disease clusters associated with climate change in East Africa
BACKGROUND: Recent epidemiology of Rift Valley fever (RVF) disease in Africa suggests growing frequency and expanding geographic range of small disease clusters in regions that previously had not reported the disease. We investigated factors associated with the phenomenon by characterising recent RVF disease events in East Africa. METHODS: Data on 100 disease events (2008-2022) from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania were obtained from public databases a…
Changing climate risks for high-value tree fruit production across the United States
Climate change poses growing risks to global agriculture including perennial tree fruit such as apples that hold important nutritional, cultural, and economic value. This study quantifies historical trends in climate metrics affecting apple growth, production, and quality, which remain understudied. Utilizing the high-resolution gridMET dataset, we analyzed trends (1979–2022) in several key metrics across the U.S.—cold degree days, chill portions…
El Niño and positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions simultaneously reduce the production of multiple cereals across India
Natural climate phenomena like El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) influence the Indian monsoon and thereby the region’s agricultural systems. Understanding their influence can provide seasonal predictability of agricultural production metrics to inform decision-making and mitigate potential food security challenges. Here, we analyze the effects of ENSO and IOD on four agricultural production metrics (production,…
Enhanced solar and wind potential during widespread temperature extremes across the U.S. interconnected energy grids
Several recent widespread temperature extremes across the United States (U.S.) have been associated with power outages, disrupting access to electricity at times that are critical for the health and well-being of communities. Building resilience to such extremes in our energy infrastructure needs a comprehensive understanding of their spatial and temporal characteristics. In this study, we systematically quantify the frequency, extent, duration, …
Is tourism expansion the key to economic growth in India? An aggregate-level time series analysis
The paper aims to probe the tourism-economic growth nexus in the case of India. The paper incorporates a more structural view of sector-specific macroeconomic variables like central government expenditure on tourism (CGET), investment in the tourism industry (IOT), foreign tourist arrivals, and foreign tourist visits as explanatory parameters. Johansen's cointegration and error correction model results support the long-run relationship among the …
To understand climate change adaptation, we must characterize climate variability: Here’s how
Climate change adaptation involves the management of climate-related risks, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we must prioritize adaptation immediately. However, researchers and policymakers have little systematic understanding of which adaptations are effective at reducing risks, including under different climate conditions. Drawing on data from human communities past and present, we review how features of climate variabilit…
Enhanced risk of concurrent regional droughts with increased Enso variability and warming
Regional and elevational patterns of extreme heat stress change in the US
Increasing severity of extreme heat is a hallmark of climate change. Its impacts depend on temperature but also on moisture and solar radiation, each with distinct spatial patterns and vertical profiles. Here, we consider these variables’ combined effect on extreme heat stress, as measured by the environmental stress index, using a suite of high-resolution climate simulations for historical (1980–2005) and future (2074–2099, Representative Concen…
A systems lens to evaluate the compound human health impacts of anthropogenic activities
Nutritional quality of crops in a high CO 2 world: An agenda for research and technology development
Essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, are required for human health and development. Inadequate intake can negatively affect development and result in a wide range of adverse health outcomes. Rice, maize, and wheat provide over 60% of the world’s food energy intake. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), water, nitrogen, and soil micronutrients are the basis of this plant material. Since 1850–1900, CO …
Sensitivity of seasonal migration to climatic variability in central India
Extreme climatic events and variability are on the rise around the world, with varying implications for populations across socio-economic conditions. Effective strategies for climate adaptation and development depend on understanding these differential sensitivities to climatic variability. This study focuses on a vulnerable population living in forest-fringe villages of central India, where seasonal migration is a common livelihood strategy for …
Public expenditure on education, educational attainment and unemployment nexus in India: An empirical investigation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the nexus among public expenditure allocated to education, educational attainment at secondary level and unemployment rate in India for the period 1987–2017. Design/methodology/approach The study employs autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) bound testing approach suggested by Pesaran et al. (2001) to find the long-run relationship among the variables. The causal linkages are investigated through b…
Attributing Extreme Events to Climate Change: A New Frontier in a Warming World
The emerging field of extreme-event attribution (EEA) seeks to answer the question: “Has climate change influenced the frequency, likelihood, and/or severity of individual extreme events?” Methodological advances over the past 15 years have transformed what was once an unanswerable hypothetical into a tractable scientific question—and for certain types of extreme events, the influence of anthropogenic climate change has emerged beyond a reasonabl…
Sensitivity of grain yields to historical climate variability in India
Fluctuations in temperature and precipitation influence crop productivity across the planet. With episodes of extreme climate becoming increasingly frequent, buffering crop production against these stresses is a critical aspect of climate adaptation. In India, where grain production and diets are closely linked, national food supply is sensitive to the effect of climate variability on monsoon grain production. Here we quantitatively examine the h…
Indian summer monsoon: Extreme events, historical changes, and role of anthropogenic forcings
The South Asian summer monsoon is a complex coupled human‐natural system that poses unique challenges for understanding its evolution alongside increasing anthropogenic activities. Rapid and substantial changes in land‐use, land‐management and industrial activities over the subcontinent, and warming in the Indian Ocean, have influenced the South Asian summer monsoon. These might continue to be significant drivers in the near‐term along with risin…
The potential for snow to supply human water demand in the present and future
Runoff from snowmelt is regarded as a vital water source for people and ecosystems throughout the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Numerous studies point to the threat global warming poses to the timing and magnitude of snow accumulation and melt. But analyses focused on snow supply do not show where changes to snowmelt runoff are likely to present the most pressing adaptation challenges, given sub-annual patterns of human water consumption and water av…
