A symphony of uncertainties: exploring the interplay between climate hazards and human societies

A symphony of uncertainties: exploring the interplay between climate hazards and human societies

Climate hazards are manifestations of the Earth’s complex climatic systems. As natural events, they have always occurred, yet changes in the global climate increase the frequency and intensity of extremes and their impact on the built environment and people. Predicting the nature, scale, and location of climate hazards and their complex interplays with anthropogenic factors is not a straightforwar ...[Read More]
