Cardell et al. (2020) Future extremes of temperature and precipitation in Europe derived from a combination of dynamical and statistical approaches
This study projects future changes in extreme weather events across Europe using observed and bias-adjusted regional climate model data under the RCP8.5 scenario, finding a general increase in warm extremes and heavy precipitation, alongside longer dry periods.

Tramblay et al. (2020) Trends in flow intermittence for European rivers
Analysis of 452 European intermittent rivers (1970–2010) reveals a widespread trend of increasing and earlier zero-flow days, strongly correlated with long-term drought conditions (SPEI 12–24 months), suggesting increased water stress across the continent, particularly in Southern Europe.
