Description:
Climate extremes including, but not limited to, storms, droughts, heat waves, and floods are significantly impacting the landscape and human activities. Such extremes have long been studied in tandem with climate change or variability and have been explicitly linked to multi-scale processes such as ENSO and land surface temperature. Increasing exposure, resulting from socioeconomic growth and a broader connection between people and their environment, raises the risk due to extreme events. Such increases in risk can have local to global scale impacts and therefore must be studied to mitigate the impacts. With advances in remote sensing, data science, time series statistical analysis, and earth system models there is unprecedented opportunity to develop collaborative cross disciplines research on extreme events and their multi-scale impacts. This session welcomes contributions that highlight unique data, methods, modeling approaches, predictions, and projections that show the impacts of extremes on both landscape and human risk level.
