Little work explores local risks or the health effects of long-term exposure to multiple, overlapping events
Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
Little work explores local risks or the health effects of long-term exposure to multiple, overlapping events. Understanding the health impacts of cumulative exposure to climate extremes at the subnational level is crucial to effective climate adaptation and public health interventions.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and future work of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2025 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 24 times in total.

- Compound weather and climate extremes in the Asian region: science-informed recommendations for policy (2025) · Frontiers in Climate · cited 24× · doi
Significant gaps remain in our understanding of the drivers and mechanisms behind compound extreme events. The lack of high-quality, high-resolution historical and real-time data hinders accurate assessment of past extreme events. The limitations of climate models are a major challenge in understanding and predicting compound events.
