Extreme Events and Climate Change

<p>Significant anthropogenic climate change has already occurred and even under the most optimistic scenarios future climate change would be significantly more severe than the present. Cross disciplinary studies between the physical climate sciences and the impacts, community has recently become much more active and <i>Extreme Events and Climate Change </i>will recognize this trend in research.</p> <p>Volume highlights include:<br /><br />- Access to methods and analysis that are helpful in relating changes in extreme events to their societal impacts</p> <p>- Significant advances in understanding in how extreme weather changes as the climate warms. This is due to both theoretical and modeling advances in the physical aspects of climate science</p> <p>- A comprehensive overview of methods and state of the science for decision makers and interested students and researchers<br /><br />- Innovative ways of using data from different sources that result in a cohesive analysis of the impact of extreme events to society<br /><br /><i>Extreme Events and Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary Approach </i>will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of hazard and risk analysis in general, as well as to those with a special interest in climate change, atmospheric and ocean sciences, seismology, hydrology, geography, agricultural science, geohealth, environmental and space science.</p>
