Compound, Concurrent, and Cascading Hazards in a Changing Climate: Identifying Drivers, Impacts, and Risk Implications
Session ID#: 252105
Session Description:
This session focusses on improving the understanding of compound, concurrent, and cascading climate hazards—such as floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires which arises from interacting physical processes across spatial and temporal scales. These interactions can amplify risks, creating cascading impacts that strain emergency systems, infrastructure, and risk management. Climate change is intensifying individual hazards and altering their interdependencies and timing. This complexity is heightened by non-stationarity in both natural and human systems, demanding advanced tools to analyze joint behaviors and evolving hazard dynamics. This session seeks interdisciplinary contributions that: (1) explore physical processes and non-stationarities driving multi-hazard interactions, (2) develop and validate new methods for compound event analysis, (3) quantify impacts of past and projected compound events, and (4) propose strategies to reduce vulnerability and exposure over time. Researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners are encouraged to contribute to foster integrated solutions for managing complex hazards in a changing climate
