Correlated Extremes Workshop

Workshop taking place May 28-31, 2019 at Columbia University.

With this level of interest and engagement, it's a happy observation that real progress in not just the research findings, but the formulation of the research questions, is taking place and will be sustained through the next gatherings, the AR6 cycle, and beyond

We wanted to put on your radar that several of us from the workshop are leading a closely related AGU session: https://t.co/vmbWh1w6hf This will be in dialogue with similar sessions on natural hazards & hydro extremes -- in all, more compounding/correlation than AGU has ever had!

Most talk slides and poster pdfs are now available! https://t.co/S6bzslhsks

Slightly belated congratulations to our ECR presentation award-winners: @KKornhuber @Ariel_Avgi Prizes made possible by @NatRevEarthEnv

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

Plus @SISeneviratne & N. Diffenbaugh who gave helpful input but weren't able to attend in person. Sincere appreciation to all!

The sponsors provided the fuel, but making it to this final destination required the expert navigation & crewing of our great steering group: @regclimo @radleyhorton @ZscheischlerJak @AmirAghaKouchak @MartiusOlivia @profadamsobel @TWahl1981 @SCamargo @AlexRuane @ClimateOpp

If you'd like to look back, finalized video recordings (covering the whole workshop) will be available soon on our website, as will most slides & posters

In making @CUcorrextr2019 possible, we should also again recognize the essential support of our sponsors @NSF @CUextremewx @earthinstitute @Aon_plc @WCRP_climate @COSTprogramme @CCRUN_RISA @NatRevEarthEnv

Thanks again everybody for making this workshop so productive and enjoyable! As conveyed by the last session yesterday, there are a number of ways to channel & continue building the community enthusiasm that found expression this week.

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

If you'd like to advertise a particular collaboration platform, research opportunity, or upcoming conference that could build on this workshop in some way, please send a slide to Colin (@regclimo) and these will be collected into a single pptx file for tomorrow's final session

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

Many great talks & posters so far, with a few more to come tomorrow morning. All talks have been recorded and are available for (re)viewing via the links on the website. Talk slides and poster pdfs will ultimately be posted as well, with presenters' permission

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

For those of you watching the livestream, the next speaker (Hummel) asked to not be recorded. Therefore, the recording will have a 15-min hiatus and will then restart with a new link, which will be posted on the website momentarily. #correlatedextremes19

Please tweet questions at this account (or with our hashtag) and they may be featured on the panel! #correlatedextremes19

We have a late change of plans for tonight's panel: @profadamsobel will be representing the impacts/policy perspective. We're looking forward to seeing everyone at 7:00!

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

Fire, floods, drought, heat, and air pollution:
Recent work posits the best solution
Is to treat them as truly multidimensional --
An approach that's effective but not yet conventional.
(Compound Events sessions, Wed May 29) #correlatedextremes19

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

Does a spring storm with lightning and thunder
Ever make you stop and wonder --
If one storm has impacts that are so severe,
How about multiple in a year?
(Sequential & Persistent Events session, Thurs May 30)

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

A word cloud from all the abstracts that will be presented reveals some of the main concepts to look forward to next week. 'Events', 'climate', and 'extremes' lead the pack, with the classic variables of temperature and precipitation close behind

[Correlated Extremes Workshop @CUcorrextr2019]

Times have now been set for individual talks, so check the website for yours, or if there's one you've had your eye on! We've also lengthened lunch & the breakout sessions. Each breakout will be themed and have a discussion leader; more details to follow

Only four weeks remain until we gather, physically and virtually, for the kickoff panel! As additional motivation in preparing your presentations, we will have small cash prizes for best ECS talk and best ECS poster, courtesy of Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
