The merit of the North Sea-Caspian pattern in explaining climate variability in the Euro-Mediterranean region (2023)
Journal Article

Teleconnection patterns are one of the key features to understanding high-frequency natural climate variability. The North Sea-Caspian Pattern (NCP) was identified as a middle tropospheric dipole and its hydroclimatological implications have been sub...

Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microclimatic variations in semi-arid ecosystems can cause topographic asymmetry over geologic time scales due to uneven distribution of incoming solar radiation as a function of slope aspect. This phenomenon has long been recognized in geomorphology... Read More about Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey.

Investigating links among heatwaves, precipitation, and land use types using the convection-permitting model in the Southwest UK for the 2022 boreal summer (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To improve sub-seasonal forecasts, different global initiatives generate continental convection-permitting simulations for resolution less than 10 kilometres for multiple decades. These simulations, however, are based on land use maps with only singl...

Allometric relations between DBH and sapwood area for predicting stand transpiration: Lessons learned from the Quercus genus (2023)
Journal Article

Catchment-scale transpiration is commonly determined by the use of sap-flow sensors, and its quantification, which is critical for water and forest management, relies crucially on the total catchment’s sapwood area (As). Species-specific allometric r... Read More about Allometric relations between DBH and sapwood area for predicting stand transpiration: Lessons learned from the Quercus genus.

Importance of tree diameter and species for explaining the temporal and spatial variations of xylem water δ18O and δ2H in a multi-species forest (2023)
Journal Article

Identifying the vegetation and topographic variables influencing the isotopic variability of xylem water of forest vegetation remains crucial to interpret and predict ecohydrological processes in landscapes. In this study, we used temporally and spat...

Drift and diffusion functions of historical time series and UKCP18 convection-permitting model outputs for Bristol and Filton (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As global temperatures continue to rise and affect atmospheric dynamics, there is a growing need to develop methods for investigating the temporal evolution of climate fields. These methods are useful to quantify both short- and long-term changes, as...

Impact of climate change and socioeconomic factors on domestic energy consumption: The case of Hong Kong and Singapore (2022)
Journal Article

Temperature and population growth are key drivers of energy consumption. However, the relative importance of climatic and socioeconomic factors driving energy consumption at different temporal scales is not well-understood. Therefore, we developed a...

Convection-Permitting Model Simulation based on Local Climate Zones (LCZs) for winter in Istanbul (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

High resolution simulations at kilometre scales from convection-permitting models (CPMs) provide new avenues for studying the dynamics of urban regions that do not use deep convection parameterisation schemes. As a pilot investigation, a sensitive st... Read More about Convection-Permitting Model Simulation based on Local Climate Zones (LCZs) for winter in Istanbul.

Investigating and predicting spatiotemporal variations in vegetation cover in transitional climate zone: A case study of Gansu (China) (2022)
Journal Article

Vegetation ecosystems are sensitive to large-scale climate variability in climate transition zones. As a representative transitional climate zone in Northwest China, Gansu is characterized by a sharp climate and vegetation gradient. In this study, th...

Extreme precipitation characteristics driven by atmosphere-oceanic modes in the Uruguay river basin based on convective-permitting model simulations (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Subtropical areas are sensitive climate transition regions that are affected by atmospheric oscillations linked to tropical heat sources and the stratosphere. In South America, we hypothesise that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is related to la...

Book Chapter

For mitigating hydrological hazards, legal frameworks provide enforcement mechanisms to guide water governance which can increase the adaptability and resilience of water resources systems. In Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), water securit... Read More about An adaptive legal framework for water security concerns in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Rapid extreme tropical precipitation and flood inundation mapping (flood-tropical) framework: initial testing for the 2021-2022 Malaysia flood (2022)
Journal Article

The 2021-2022 flood is one of the most serious flood events in Malaysian history, with approximately 70,000 victims evacuated daily, 54 killed and total losses were up to MYR 6.1 billion. From this devastating event, we realized the lack of extreme p...
