New ESD paper led by Simon Heselschwerdt from our team: Future shifts in precipitation partitioning are primarily controlled by changes in rainfall extremes, not means. Increases in Rx5day systematically drive higher blue water shares, independent of overall wetting/drying. doi.org/10.5194/esd-...

Large impact of extreme precipitation on projected blue–green water partitioning

Abstract. Precipitation partitioning into blue (runoff) and green water (transpiration) flows is a fundamental hydroecological process shaping freshwater availability across vegetated and hydrological...

We're seeking a motivated PhD candidate to work on global irrigation-atmosphere interactions at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon & the University of Hamburg. Your Role: Analyze satellite data and develop methods to detect irrigation timing and signals in clouds/precipitation. www.hereon.de/career/vacan...

Excited to be at #EGU25 presenting our work on how irrigation impacts the likelihood of afternoon rain. Join us at PICO spot 4.7 on Wednesday, April 30, from 16h15 to 18h. Also, check out our study: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

New study uses global observations and shows that large-scale #irrigation changes local #rainfall, leading to more afternoon rain events 10 to 50 km downwind of irrigated areas. This can help constrain #climate models and support #WaterManagement. @gerics.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Observational evidence of increased afternoon rainfall downwind of irrigated areas - Nature Communications

Fresh off the press: Our new review article on the water cycle in a changing climate, led by the indefatigable (but bluesky-less) Hugo Lambert. Enjoy! @uniofstandrews.bsky.social wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Changes in the Regional Water Cycle and Their Impact on Societies

The Water Stress Index (WSI), which is the ratio of human demand for to availability of blue water, is very uncertain in the present day but likely to show large unsustainable increase in some region...
