             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 effects of drought and heatwaves, as driving 
                         factors, are more relevant than the effects 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 drought-heat 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 
                         deficit 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 record-breaking 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 fire outbreaks.",
