Scoping review of the societal impacts of compound climate events by Caroline A. Fehlman, Sophia C. Ryan, Kristen G. Lysne, Quinn M. Rundgren, Taylin J. Spurlock, Rustyn O. Orbison, Jennifer D. Runkle, Margaret M. Sugg

“…Abstract Climatic extremes have historically been seen as univariate; however, recent international reports have highlighted the potential for an increase in compound climate events (e.g., hot and dry events, recurrent flooding). Despite the projected increase in the frequency of compound climate events and the adoption of compound event terminology, few studies identify climate extremes as compound climate events and little evidence exists on the societal impacts of these compound climate events. …”
