abstract = "In this study, a comprehensive multiscale analysis of compounding
drought-heat events in the Pantanal region is presented. The goal
is to assess the multiscale nature of drought and determine
whether the combined efects of drought and heatwaves, as driving
factors, are more relevant than the efects of each event
separately. The study describes a persistent interannual extreme
event characterized by drought and heatwaves in the Pantanal,
lasting from 2019 to 2021. The extreme event involved a prolonged
dry season, a shortened and delayed rainy season, and persistent
heatwaves, resulting in the emergence of droughtheat compound
events. Despite experiencing consecutive months of increasing
drought hazards and a delayed rainy season in late 2020 to 2021,
the northern Pantanal region was unable to recover from the water
defcit accumulated due to water stress in the previous year. This
emphasizes the long-lasting impacts of compound events on water
availability and ecosystem health. Furthermore, the study suggests
that interannual water stress played a crucial role in explaining
the context that led to recordbreaking daily maximum temperatures
during the austral spring of 2020. The regions most at risk for
such compound extreme events are the northern and central
Pantanal. Looking at longer timescales, the analysis of compound
drought-heat events can provide insights essential for
understanding and preventing their impacts, particularly those
that could trigger fre outbreaks.",
