Cold- and heat-related mortality poses significant public health concerns worldwide. Although there are numerous studies dealing with the association between extreme ambient temperature and mortality, only a small number adopt a synoptic climatologic...

Time-Series Study of Associations between Rates of People Affected by Disasters and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Cycle (2019)
Journal Article
Lam, H., Haines, A., McGregor, G., Chan, E., & Hajat, S. (2019). Time-Series Study of Associations between Rates of People Affected by Disasters and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Cycle. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 16(17), Article 3146. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph16173146

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major driver of climatic variability that can have far reaching consequences for public health globally. We explored whether global, regional and country-level rates of people affected by natural disasters...

Journal Article
McGregor, G. R. (2019). Climate and Rivers. River Research and Applications, 35(8), 1119-1140. https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3508

Over the last few decades as hydrologists have slowly raised their line of sight above the watershed boundary, it has become increasingly recognised that what happens in the atmosphere, as a major source of moisture for the terrestrial branch of the... Read More about Climate and Rivers.

Atmospheric drivers of winter above‐freezing temperatures and associated rainfall in western Canada (2019)
Journal Article
Newton, B., Bonsal, B., Edwards, T., Prowse, T., & McGregor, G. (2019). Atmospheric drivers of winter above‐freezing temperatures and associated rainfall in western Canada. International Journal of Climatology, 39(15), 5655-5671. https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.6178

Winter thaw episodes, especially when accompanied by rain, can significantly deplete the winter snowpack, which is a critical water storage component in the mountainous headwater regions of the major river basins of western Canada. Here we identify t... Read More about Atmospheric drivers of winter above‐freezing temperatures and associated rainfall in western Canada.
