Climate change is bringing increased variability to annual snowfall, which affects how much water is stored for ecosystem and human use.

Yet another destination known for its skiing and snowy winters will be forced to contend with growing wildfire severity and frequency. The Alps, Europe’s largest mountain range and a world-renowned skiing destination, and the Alpine Foreland, a deep trough in southern Germany at the edge of the Alps, have both enjoyed minimal wildfire danger thanks to abundant winter snowfall and temperate summer conditions. But that will change by 2040.

Climate modelling by the Australian National University found Australia has experienced megadroughts every 150 to 1,000 years and is due for another

Australia could soon see megadroughts that last for more than 20 years, according to new modelling from The Australian National University (ANU) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes.

Australia could soon see megadroughts that last for decades, according to new research co-led by ANU.

The unprecedented megadroughts were determined through a new climate model. Click to read more. Megadroughts are defined as extremely long-lasting drought events covering a large area that can last for years or even decades.

New modeling predicts Australia may experience megadroughts lasting 20 years or more, exacerbated by climate change, posing severe risks to the environment and agriculture. Australia could soon see megadroughts that last for more than 20 years, according to new modeling from The Australian Nation
