Climate risks rarely happen in isolation. Heatwaves, droughts & floods can overlap or follow one another, creating compound risks. A new perspective led by IIASA's @kornhuber.bsky.social explores how science can better support real-world decisions. 🔗 nhess.copernicus.org/articles/26/... @egu.eu

Invited perspectives: Towards usable compound event research

Abstract. Supporting stakeholders with science-based decision-making to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts is a central mandate of the climate research community. In particular, mapping out ...

WG4&WG5 met in Metz on June 10-11 to explore how extended-range forecasts can strengthen Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems & anticipatory action. Activities included identifying gaps and defining an action roadmap for future steps. Thanks to all participants! #ANTICIPATE #MHEWS #AnticipatoryAction

💬Great 1st ANTICIPATE General Meeting in #Glasgow , which brought together #researchers & #practitioners to advance #multi-hazard #early-warning frameworks. Thanks to all participants and hosts for the inspiring discussions and laying strong foundation for what’s ahead! @costprogramme.bsky.social

Can #ImpactChains be a pedagogical tool to raise awareness on #ClimateRisk and #Habitability? Yes! On Feb 13, we tested them in a workshop with students at Lycée Teyssier (Bitche) within the Habi(Li)ter project. + info on Habi(Li)ter: liec.univ-lorraine.fr/recherche-eq... @univlorraine.bsky.social

Our socials were a bit quiet, but the blog never stopped 👀 Last Monday we dropped a new post and it's time for a trip to the Adriatic 🌊 Archive photos, old newspapers and a true detective story to uncover historical meteotsunamis in Croatia. Curious? Dive in 👇 blogs.egu.eu/divisions/nh... #EGUblogs

Hunting for historical Adriatic meteotsunamis

Before modern instruments, our only clues about past sea events came from written records and folklore. Along the eastern Adriatic coast, stories of sudden floods and “ tidal waves ” (locally called…

Great @riskkan.bsky.social turn out at the kick-off meeting of the newly funded COST Action ANTICIPATE to advance long range predictions of Multihazards. Many thanks to @drchriswhite.bsky.social, P. Rivoire and D. Domeisen for their leadership! Exciting four years years ahead!

I'm seeing lots of discussion of what seems to be an article about an ad for a browser extension dressed up as a paper. The index they propose is silly, but the problem isn't the index, it's indexes in general (and our strange fondness for counting papers). www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

As a reviewer who gets ~15 review requests/week, an editor that has to send 50 requests to find 2 reviewers, and a co-author that watches really good papers get desk rejected, it sure feels like the academic journal system is broken. I have some thoughts on what a better system would look like.

This feels heavy but worth reading. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/when-is-th...

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.
