Impressed by GenCast, the ML-based weather forecasting model https://t.co/1PYScr2mCf...

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?

[Niels G. Mede @nielsmede]

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: https://t.co/lizbbE2LXb

[Niels G. Mede @nielsmede]

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 🔍

[Simona Meiler @SimonaMeiler]

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.

Which TC risk model input factor drives the uncertainty in future TC risk change most?

📢 New paper published @CommsEarth @SpringerNature

A systematic uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of future TC risk change throughout the entire risk model.

[Simona Meiler @SimonaMeiler]

⏩ The analogous study using an alternative TC dataset, STORM @Bloemendaal_N, https://t.co/EZGl7bdfpj provides a valuable, additional perspective.

A synthesis study of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis across more TC hazard models is coming up.

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 https://t.co/MaFFCqLmJp

[Simona Meiler @SimonaMeiler]

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 🥵⛈️🌪️🌡️😰

[Simona Meiler @SimonaMeiler]

@profadamsobel Of course!

[Simona Meiler @SimonaMeiler]

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