The dispersal characteristics of the invasive plant Mimulus guttatus and the ecological significance of increased occurrence of high‐flow events (2006, background): “Empirical evidence and climate change scenarios point to a recent and ongoing increase in the frequency and magnitude of high precipitation and highflow events, particularly in the autumn and winter in the middle and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, including the United States (Karl & Knig”
The future of hydrology: An evolving science for a changing world (2010, background): “Together with this decline in freshwater services, we also face increases in hydrologic hazards such as floods and droughts due to an increase in hydrologic variability, especially in the least resilient of nations [Milly et al., 2002; Sheffield and Wood, 2008].”

The Global Dimension of Water Governance: Why the River Basin Approach Is No Longer Sufficient and Why Cooperative Action at Global Level Is Needed (2010, background): “Local precipitation and thus local water availability and peak flows depend on local climate conditions, which in turn are influenced by global climate conditions [7,37].”
Role of greenhouse gas in climate change** (2019, methodology): “This is the main reason why soil moisture decreases in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In many relatively arid regions of the world, soil moisture is small partly because water vapour is exported outward by atmospheric circulation as it is in many regions in the subtropics. Because abs”
How is the impact of climate change on river flow regimes related to the impact on mean annual runoff? A global-scale analysis (2012, background): “Global-scale studies on the impact of climate change on river flow regimes are still rare (e.g. Milly et al 2002, Hirabayashi et al 2008, Döll and Zhang 2010).”
