Seminar: “Navigating the Storm: Modeling the Intersection of Hurricanes and Extreme Heat Exposure in India and the US”

November 19, 2024 12:30 pm

Gain insights into the complex interplay between two escalating compound climate hazards – storms and extreme heat – and their human impacts in India and the United States. Using observations and climate model simulations, we will discuss the storm-heat compound hazards and how to project such low-probability, high-impact events in the future planning horizon. We ask: How can we improve preparedness strategies for protecting vulnerable communities from these compound hazards?
