Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic warming has increased drought risk in California
TL;DR: This paper found that precipitation deficits in California were more than twice as likely to yield drought years if they occurred when conditions were warm and that anthropogenic warming is increasing the probability of co-occurring warm-dry conditions like those that have created the acute human and ecosystem impacts associated with the 2012-2014 drought in California.

TL;DR: In this article, a better understanding of compound events may improve projections of potential high-impact events, and can provide a bridge between climate scientists, engineers, social scientists, impact modellers and decision-makers.

Global warming and changes in risk of concurrent climate extremes: Insights from the 2014 California drought
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a multivariate viewpoint is necessary for assessing risk of extreme events, especially in a warming climate, and discuss a methodology for assessing the risk of concurrent extremes such as droughts and extreme temperatures.

Increasing risk of compound flooding from storm surge and rainfall for major US cities
TL;DR: The co-occurrence of storm surge and heavy precipitation can compound coastal flooding, and the probability of such cooccurrences for the US has increased significantly over the past century as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of anthropogenic climate change on wildfire in western North America and especially in California and found that the response of summer forest fire area to atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is exponential, meaning that warming has grown increasingly impactful.
