Increasingly common since 1980, persistent multi-year droughts will continue to advance with the warming climate, warns a study from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow, and Landscape Research (WSL), with Professor Francesca Pellicciotti from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) participating.

Increasing droughts, longer, longer and more intense periods - Terra e Poli

“Every year, since 1980, drought-stricken areas have increased by fifty thousand square kilometers on average --- which is approximately the area of Slovakia or the North American states of Vermont and New Hampshire combined ---, with great damage to ecosystems, agriculture and energy production,” Francesca Pellicciotti, principal investigator of the EMERGE Project funded by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest Research (WSL), within the frame…

Extreme droughts will become more frequent, severe, and extensive

The climate is moving towards a future increasingly characterized by drought: particularly serious episodes are becoming increasingly long, intense and extensive, continuing a trend that has already increased since 1980. This is indicated by the study published in the journal Science, led by Liangzhi Chen of the Swiss Federal Institute for the Study of Forests, Snow and Landscape (WSL), in which the Italian Francesca Pellicciotti, from the Austr…

Il clima si sta spostando verso un futuro sempre più caratterizzato dalla siccità: episodi particolarmente gravi stanno diventando sempre più lunghi, intensi ed estesi, proseguendo un trend già in aumento dal 1980. Lo indica lo studio pubblicato sulla rivista Science, guidato da Liangzhi Chen dell'Istituto federale svizzero per lo studio delle foreste, della neve e del paesaggio (Wsl), al quale ha partecipato anche l'italiana Francesca Pelliccio…

Climate change is becoming increasingly noticeable in many places: parts of Chile have been suffering from drought for 15 years. The southwest of the USA recently experienced eight dry years, South Australia three. This is no coincidence, as a study shows.

Der Klimwawandel macht sich vielerorten immer stärker bemerkbar: Teile Chiles leiden bereits seit 15 Jahren unter einer Dürre. Der Südwesten der USA erlebte jüngst acht staubtrockene Jahre, Südaustralien drei. Das ist kein Zufall, wie eine Studie zeigt.

40-year study suggests extreme droughts will become more frequent and severe

Every year, more regions around the world are affected by drought and water shortages. A team of researchers has evaluated data from 40 years and is warning of “enormous economic damage.”

Jedes Jahr sind mehr Regionen auf der Welt von Dürre und Wassermangel betroffen. Ein Forscherteam hat Daten aus 40 Jahren ausgewertet und warnt vor »enormen wirtschaftlichen Schäden«.

Climate change and water scarcity: mega droughts are increasing worldwide

The earth is getting warmer, which is leading to more and more extreme weather events. This includes periods of extreme drought, which are becoming increasingly longer. Over the past four decades, the size of the drought areas has been increasing - and there is no end in sight to this trend.

Die Erde wird immer wärmer, das führt zu immer mehr extremen Wetterereignissen. Dazu zählen auch Zeiten mit extremer Trockenheit, die immer länger sind. In den vergangenen vier Jahrzehnten nimmt die Größe der Dürreflächen zu - und ein Ende dieser Entwicklung ist nicht in Sicht.
