The Emergence of Compound Event Analysis as a New Research Frontier

ABSTRACT:
Over recent years, research on compound weather and climate event has emerged as a new research frontier at the interface of climate science, climate impact research, engineering, and statistics. Compound weather and climate events refer to the combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contribute to environmental or societal risk. Compound event analysis combines traditional research on climate extremes with impact-focused bottom-up assessments and novel developments in statistics and machine learning, thereby providing new insights on present-day and future climate risk. In this talk, I will give an overview of compound event analysis and highlight current and future challenges in this exciting field of research.
