Not exact matches

The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.

CPDN is unique in providing large ensembles that enable us to simulate statistics of extremely rare events hence the main focus of our work has been on extreme weather and in particular its attribution to external climate drivers.

Prior to joining ECI, she completed her Ph.D. at Oregon State University, where she worked on the weather@home project over western US region, looking at drivers of extreme drought events in the US, future regional climate change projections over the western US, as well as investigating uncertainties due to internal variability and physical parameter perturbations.

Luke is a post is a postdoctoral researcher working on the MaRIUS and TITAN projects, using weather@home simulations and other event attribution methodologies to investigate the drivers of extreme weather events from the early 20th century.

According to the latest science, in most cases (outside of extreme heat waves) the connections between today's extreme weather events and human - driven climate change range from weak (hurricanes) to nil (tornadoes)-- and the dominant driver of losses in such events is fast - paced development or settlement in places with fundamental climatic or coastal vulnerability.

The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.

«We conclude that extreme climatic events are key drivers of biodiversity patterns and that the frequency and intensity of such episodes have major implications for predictive models of species distribution and ecosystem structure, which are largely based on gradual warming trends.»

Using event attribution may also place too much emphasis on exposure to extreme weather, when there are other drivers of vulnerability that need to be addressed, James adds.

The Titan project is being led from the University of Edinburgh and climateprediction.net's role will be to focus on the contribution of different climate drivers (greenhouse gases, aerosols) to extreme weather events of the early 20th century, including the «dust bowl» years in North America and the series of very cold European winters in the 1940s.

Her main research interest is the quantification of uncertainty and validation of climate models, in particular with respect to extreme events, in order to undertake attribution studies of extreme weather events to external climate drivers.

In her paper Impacts of Extreme Weather and Climate on Terrestrial Biota2 Parmesan wrote, «Here, evidence is brought forward that extreme weather events can be implicated as mechanistic drivers of broad ecological responses to climatic trends.

Most drivers use their cars during the «moderate risk» hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and occasionally during the «high risk» hours of 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.. Most drivers will also have «extreme braking events,» which are defined as slowing down 10 or more miles per hour over a one - second time interval.
