Volcanic Eruptions in One Hemisphere Linked to Floods in the Opposite One - Eos
Asymmetric volcanic plumes may shift equatorial weather patterns and increase tropical stream flow, according to new simulations.

Thank you for sharing! As for the central US, we looked at this quite a bit with David Lavers and Munir Nayak. Here are a couple of references related to floods in this area that may be of interest.

Thank you for putting these packs together! They are very helpful!
This is one of my favorite topics 😀 Thank you for bringing it up!
Absolutely! Among others, Katie Hirschboeck (tinyurl.com/yc8796jd) did a lot of great work on this! For a while, we seem to have focused more on fitting distributions rather than thinking about processes. Here is another study (tinyurl.com/3mamch4s) with many useful references.

We have developed a mixed-distribution approach for floods here (tinyurl.com/yc7yyhhh) and applied it to the projected changes in flood magnitude (tinyurl.com/3knapzz4) and duration (tinyurl.com/muxcch87) ...and there is more to come 😃

Floods affect many aspects of our lives, and our improved understanding of the processes driving the historical changes in this natural hazard can pro…

Thank you, Kelly! Mixed distributions can have large impacts on the results of the analyses. This kind of work gets us closer to process-driven analyses
Thank you, Kelly! It took me a while but I finally made the leap 🙂
