MultiSector Dynamics: Understanding Extreme Weather, Compound Hazards, and Their Impacts

Session ID#: 281441

Session Description:
Extreme weather events and natural hazards, including droughts, wildfires, heatwaves, cyclones, and floods have significant and potentially long-lived impacts. Their effects intensify when multiple hazards coincide or occur in succession, known as compound events. With the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather and compound hazards, understanding their impacts across various sectors and scales becomes crucial. This session convenes interdisciplinary research to advance understanding how extreme weather and natural hazards play a major role as stressors on the complex Earth and human systems. We also encourage submissions that explore the latest advances in characterizing the atmospheric, hydrological, and land-surface processes involved in compound events and their cascading interactions, using quantitative or qualitative methods. We aim to gain insights into the broader implications of extreme weather, compound hazards, and their impacts.
