Joint space-time modelling for upper daily maximum and minimum temperature record-breaking
Journal Article Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C Applied Statistics · March 1, 2026 Record-breaking temperature events are now frequently in the news, proffered as evidence of climate change, and often bring significant economic and human impacts. Our previous work undertook the first substantial spatial modelling investigation of tempera ...

Journal Article Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C Applied Statistics · January 1, 2026 North Atlantic right whales are an endangered species. Their entire population is estimated to be approximately 372 individuals, and they are subject to major anthropogenic threats. They feed on zooplankton species whose distribution shifts in a dynamic an ... Full text CiteSpatio-temporal analysis of record-breaking temperature increments across Spain
Journal Article Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment · January 1, 2026 The study of record-breaking values is of significant interest in environmental sciences. Studying records implies analyzing both their occurrence and their magnitude. Further, the study of this phenomenon within a spatio-temporal framework is vital for ev ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
