In Earth Sciences, where collaboration and field-based research are fundamental, conversations …[Read More]

Introduction Human-caused climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events around the world, and Europe is no exception. These events typically last from a few days to several weeks or even months. Using climate models and reanalysis products, scientists are studying how extreme weather events will evolve and where they are likely to …[Read More]
