As climate change leads to more extreme weather events around the world, from historic flooding in South Carolina to devastating wildfires and severe heat in Australia, associate professor Ashok Mishra is tackling an urgent question: What will be the impact on global water supplies? One of his most recent papers, published with Ph.D. student Sourav Mukherjee, analyzed temperature and precipitation records from 1983-2016 in several regions around the world. By using weekly and daily data, the pair was able to present a more comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with simultaneous heat and drought.
