GC21D:
From Hazard to Risk: Indicators of Climate and Weather Extremes for Impacts Posters
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 46373
Session Description:
We seek studies leading to identifying weather- and climate-related metrics directly relevant for the quantification of risk, including exposure and vulnerability aspects.
A number of climate extreme indices (e.g., ETCCDI’s) have successfully provided a range of metrics to record and study extremes in the physical world. We hope to move towards identifying indicators that better connect to impacts by either directly incorporating a measure of exposure/damages or by facilitating translation into them. Examples could be metrics of heat extremes significantly correlated to detrimental health effects; temperature threshold exceedances damaging to crops etc.
We welcome submissions that develop such metrics or demonstrate their potential with further (but relatively immediate) interdisciplinary work. We are also interested in addressing uncertainties related to indicator definition, projections and/or resultant impacts. We intend this session to inform the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC, specifically chapters addressing extremes, regional climate information and risk assessment.
