Impressed by GenCast, the ML-based weather forecasting model nature.com/articles/s41... Curious @GoogleDeepMind - Bc it penalizes deviations from the truth, could a complementary risk-optimized model improve its ability to capture uncertainty and better represent extreme events?

📢Call for ABSTRACTS for @EuroGeosciences Submit your #interdisciplinary contributions that address societal responses to extreme weather events 🌪️🌏🥵⛈️🔥 ➡️Deadline: 15 January 2025 ➡️Conference: 27 April - 2 May 2025, Vienna ➡️tinyurl.com/eejef6vk #EGU25

This work resulted from an amazing interdisciplinary collaboration of our #TISP survey project and @ETH climate researchers @SimonaMeiler @KropfChahan @sam_luethi @DavidBresch – thank you so much!🤝 Here’s the #preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Do people attribute extreme weather events to #climate change? Is attribution linked to the severity of events? Is it related to #policy support? Does it differ between countries and types of extreme weather? 🌏 We tested this with the #CLIMADA risk model and a global #survey 🔍

Excited to share our new preprint on extreme weather & climate policy support! 🌍🔥 Over 70K people in 68 countries were surveyed. We found that belief in climate change’s impact on extreme weather boosts climate policy support - but living in affected areas doesn’t always do so.

Where extreme weather meets emotions. 🌪️💖 Calling all minds at the crossroads of natural and social sciences - submit your abstracts to #EGU24 @EuroGeosciences

From heatwaves to hurricanes, our #EGU24 session tackles Future Changes in Weather and Climate Hazards around the World 🌍🔥🌊 Abstracts welcome here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

How many people could die due to heat during an extreme summer?🥵🥵 Our study on rapidly increasing risk of summers with very high heat-related mortality levels in 748 locations across the globe was published today in Nature communications @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

When natural and social sciences meet. First results from a very cool study on the relationship between historical extreme weather impacts and climate change emotions led by @colognav & @nielsmede in collaboration with @sam_luethi @KropfChahan 🥵⛈️🌪️🌡️😰

That's exciting! Catastrophe risk science has its own journal. When are you submitting your first manuscript?
