Rear (warm) edge populations are often considered more susceptible to warming than central (cool) populations because of the warmer ambient temperatures they experience, but this overlooks the potential for local variation in thermal tolerances. Here we provide conceptual models illustrating how sensitivity to warming is affected throughout a species' geographical range for locally adapted and ...

The U.K. government has committed to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050, with housing accounting for 27% of total current emissions. There are several drivers both to reduce emissions from homes and to reduce fuel poverty, promoting a range of building and behavioural measures in homes. The health benefits of warmer homes in winter have been described, but there has been less consider...

Elucidating the statistical properties of extreme meteo-climatic events and capturing physical processes responsible for their occurrence are key steps improving our understanding climate variability change better evaluating associated hazards. It has recently become apparent that large deviation theory is very useful investigating persistent events, specifically, flexibly estimating long retur...

BACKGROUND Seasonal fluctuation in suicide has been observed in many populations. High temperature may contribute to this, but the effect of short-term fluctuations in temperature on suicide rates has not been studied. AIMS To assess the relationship between daily temperature and daily suicide counts in England and Wales between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 2003 and to establish whether hea...

In June of 2021 the Southwest United States experienced a record-breaking heatwave. This heatwave came at time when region was in severe drought. As drought alters surface energy budget ways that affect lower atmosphere temperature and circulations, it is possible combined drought-heat event cascading climate hazard, which preexisting exacerbated We apply satellite observation numerical experim...
