EGU23 ITS1.4/NH0.6 Compound weather and climate events

This December's AGU meeting in San Francisco, USA has (tentatively) several sessions related to compound events: NH013 - Concurrent, Consecutive and Cascading Events: An Emerging Challenge for Risk Assessment and Management of Natural and Natech Hazards (Conveners: A. Sebastian, M de Ruiter, I. Gidaris, J. Mysiak) Welcomes abstracts on concurrent, consecutive and cascading hazard events and their impacts. It aims to showcase current research and foster broader knowledge exchange between scientists and practitioners across multiple hazard communities and disciplines  

GC022 - Correlated Climate Extremes: Drivers, Mechanisms, and Risks

(Conveners: C. Raymond, K. Kornhuber, R. Horton, J. Zscheischler)

Invites contributions that broadly involve correlation among drivers or impacts, divisible into three categories: (i) compound extremes (multiple variables, same time and place); (ii) concurrent extremes (same time, multiple places); (iii) sequential or persistent extremes (multiple times, same place).

 

GC020 - Compound weather and climate extremes: Mechanism, predictability, and projection

(Conveners: J. Yoon, S. Wang, H. Kim)

Welcomes abstracts examining the dynamical processes underlying rapid successions of extreme events, of the same or different type.

  GC013 - Climate-Hydrology-Human Interactions and Their Implications on Hydroclimate Extremes in a Changing Environment (Conveners: X. Yuan, M. Pan, N. Wanders, Z.-L. Yang) Abstracts should address multi-scale processes of hydroclimatic extremes and their interaction with human factors to create risk.  

GC012 - Climate Extremes: Patterns, mechanisms and attribution

(Conveners: C. Funk, S. Herring, D. Mitchell, A. Hoell)

Invites abstracts advancing physical understanding of water-cycle extremes across weather-to-climate timescales, especially via theory or modeling.

     

 

DAMOCLES COST Action on Compound Weather Events aims to establish and coordinate a network of previously unconnected communities including climate scientists, hydrologists, impact modelers, risk modelers, statisticians and stakeholders. WG 2 connects the scientific network developed through the Action with a network of stakeholders for whom Compound Events are important in decision-making. One of the first activities is to identify the stakeholder network already present in the action and to supplement this to match the action’s scientific modeling expertise. In this presentation the identified stakeholder network of the DAMOCLES will be presented with the aim to continue the discussion of the Prague and Berlin meetings on how to foster collaboration within our COST Action.

The Annual Meetings of the EMS aim at fostering exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas in the meteorological, climatological, and related communities. Facilitating interactions, integration, and engagement of science, applications, and actors is our core objective. The session programme highlights these goals and offers many opportunities for enhancing collaboration across the entire weather and climate enterprise (public, private, academic, users, and NGOs) to benefit societies in Europe and worldwide. A co-organized between DAMOCLES and ECRA (European Climate Research Alliance) has a strong focus on compound events:  From hazards to impacts: understanding the mechanisms behind single and compound climate events. Abstract submission deadline is 12 April 2019.

These meetings, which have been held roughly every three years since 1979, are organized by independent statisticians, climatologists and atmospheric scientists. They facilitate communication between the climate and statistics communities and promote good statistical practice in climate and atmospheric science (see http://imsc.pacificclimate.org/). Abstract submission is now open. The deadline for abstract submission is February 20, 2019. The list of sessions is provided below and further information can be found on the conference website: http://www.meteo.fr/cic/meetings/2019/IMSC

This workshop aims to bring together a broad and diverse range of climate scientists, societal-impacts researchers, and policymakers to establish what is currently known about correlated climate extremes, and to forge promising new paths. These include a wide array of events: those which are extreme in multiple variables ('compound'); those which are simultaneous but separated in space ('concurrent'); and those which impact the same location sequentially or persistently. By providing a broad survey of these developing lines of research from the dual perspectives of climate science and social science, a key goal of this workshop is to expand and integrate the community of researchers and practitioners becoming interested in spatiotemporally correlated extremes. It will have a special focus on novel and interdisciplinary work. The workshop will be organized into sessions of ~6 talks followed by plenty of time for discussion (panels, small groups with guiding questions, and unstructured). There will also be an introductory evening panel and afternoon poster sessions. Registration is now open at this link. Abstract submissions are open until February 11, 2019 at this link. Please see our website at bit.ly/corrextr for more information.

While narratives or storylines have been used for decades in social sciences and beyond (e.g. RCPs, SSPs, economic risk assessment), the concept of analyzing and communicating high-impact weather extreme events in the climate change context via storylines has recently gained quite some popularity in the climate modeling community. Storylines are also a useful way to investigate and communicate compound events, which are in the focus of DAMOCLES. As a cross-Working Group meeting of DAMOCLES, this meeting is funded by COST. More detailed information are available at the workshop webpage.

The EGU General Assembly 2019, taking place in Vienna (Austria) on 7–12 April 2019, will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET. All 2019 EGU members will be able to submit abstracts to the 2019 meeting. With a few exceptions, only one abstract as a first author will be permitted. Please find more information on EGU's call-for-abstracts announcement There are several interesting sessions about Compound Events including this session organised by DAMOCLES.    

The joint working days are an initiative started within the Dutch research community working on compound events. The objective of this day is to create a space where researchers can collaborate, meet other researchers within the same field or insights from other related fields and (sometimes) just work. We organize this event every 2 month, each time at a different research institute or university. This edition will be at Delft University of Technology. You’re welcome to walk in at any time between 09:00 and 17:00 hours. The day can be closed with some drinks on campus. Please respond to Imme (E.Ragno@tudelft.nl) if you’d like to join. The exact location/room of the meeting will be announced later.

Goals:

• Establish membership of each DAMOCLES participant to at least one of the 5 WGs
• Compile roadmap (“mission statement”) for each WG to reach WG deliverables and

DAMOCLES objectives

• Assign tasks for 2nd Grant Period (GP, 1.5.19-30.4.20) (training schools, conference organization, data collection, etc.)
• Create “compound event community”

On November 14, Dominik Paprotny will be defending his dissertation entitled:

"Methods for Improving Pan-European Flood Risk Mapping"

Abstract

In the past decade, there has been growing interest in analysing flood hazard and risk on European scale. Such studies allow assessment of climate change impacts, can be used at EU-level policymaking and provide information on countries where local flood maps are not available. In this thesis, some innovative methodologies that contribute to improvement of pan-European flood mapping are explored. The topics covered include: (1) using Bayesian statistics to reduce time needed to map river flood hazard compared to rainfall-runoff models; (2) computing extreme sea levels and coastal flood hazard zones under present and future climate; (3) adjusting historical flood losses for changes in exposure to reveal true long-term trends in flood losses in Europe; (4) utilizing dependency modelling for assessing the hazard of compound flood occurrence. The full thesis can be accessed here.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from natural sciences (e.g. hydrology, meteorology, geomorphology, hydraulic engineering, environmental science, seismology, geography), risk research, nonlinear systems dynamics, and applied mathematics to discuss new insights and developments about data science, changing systems, multi-hazard events and the linkage between hazard and vulnerabilities under unstable environmental conditions. Knowledge transfer, communication and networking will be key issues of the conference. The conference will be organized by means of invited talks given by outstanding experts, oral presentations, poster sessions and discussions. Already confirmed speakers are: 1) Prof. Dr. Matthias Holschneider (University of Potsdam, Institute of Mathematics): Data Science 2) Prof. Dr. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Potsdam): Changing Systems 3) Prof. Dr. Jakob Rhyner (United Nations University, Institute for Environment and Human Security): Cascade and Multi-Hazard 4) Prof. Dr. Jeroen Aerts (VU Amsterdam, Institute for Environmental Studies): Linking Hazard and Vulnerability Please submit your abstract of 300-500 words, including title, author‘s name, and affiliation by 15th May 2018 via the link: http://www.j-work.de/up/nathazardsrisk/ Letters of acceptance/rejection will be send to the corresponding author before 15th June 2018.
