MYRIAD-EU

🌍 🌡️ Europe's scorching summers no longer take us by surprise. But longer and more intense spells of warm weather take their hefty toll on human heath. Kelley De Polt, Markus Reichstein, Carsten Dormann, Philip Ward 🟥, Marleen de Ruiter 🟥 and Rene Orth authored a study on compound climate hazards and health risks that will be presented at the #AGU2024 early next month. 📝 🔦 The study examines specific scenarios, like high temperatures combined with extreme moisture, using a multi-hazard approach. Thanks to a Generalised Additive Model (GAM), researchers could trace the temperature levels at which mortality increases in different regions. By mapping these temperature thresholds, they could understand the geographic and socio-demographic factors that influence them. Curious to know more?

Are early warning systems on the front burner? As the frequency and intensity of natural hazards increase, driven by climate change, Early Warning Systems (EWS) are more critical than ever. These tools play a pivotal role in protecting lives, property, and communities from disaster—but to stay effective, they must evolve. 💡 So, how can we improve? 💡 In this session at #EGU25 convened by Markus Reichstein, Carina Fearnley, Dorothea Frank, Shruti N., Vitus Benson, researchers will explore cutting-edge developments and innovative methodologies that are revolutionising #EWS, steeping discussions on these two key points: 🔵 integration of Artificial Intelligence (#AI) to enhance prediction accuracy and real-time decision-making, 🔵 the importance of transdisciplinary collaboration—bringing together experts from diverse fields to tackle complex, interconnected risks. Deadline for abstract submission is 15 January, 2025, 13:00 CET. Deadline for a travel fee waiver is 2 December, 2024, 13:00 CET. Share your expertise and advance solutions for better adaptation! #ReducingRisksTogether #EarlyWarningSystems #DisasterRiskReduction #Innovation #ClimateResilience #NaturalHazards #AIinDisasterManagement #ClimateAction

At the end of last month, the Veneto Pilot hosted an inspiring additional Focus Group named ‘Development of Storylines and Identification of Future Pathways for Disaster Risk Management’. This dynamic session brought together a powerhouse of expertise from different local and regional entities to gather stakeholder insights for: 🔹 Co-creating compelling storylines for disaster scenarios. 🔹 Developing forward-looking pathways for disaster risk management (DRM). 🔹 Validating an AI-driven tool to assess coastal risks and shape adaptive strategies. The collaborative spirit and innovative approaches shared in this session will play a vital role in enhancing resilience and ensuring a safer future for our coastal communities. 🌊 Big thanks to all participants for your valuable contributions—together, we’re making impactful strides in disaster risk management! 🙌 #ReducingRisksTogether #DisasterRiskManagement #Innovation #StakeholderEngagement #VenetoRegion #ClimateResilience #Adaptation 

Call for abstracts open for our global and continental scale risk session at #EGU2025! Hope to see you there. For info see: https://lnkd.in/eVjaATUm With 2 great new conveners: Zélie Stalhandske and Dirk Eilander

Empowering Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) for Success in Research Projects! 🚀🔬 The session organised by Julius Schlumberger Judith Claassen Kelley De Polt Melanie Duncan Marcel Hürlimann at #EGU2025 is designed to provide an interactive platform for ECRs and project leaders to share, learn, and discuss best practices in engagement and empowerment within research projects. This session will offer ECRs a space to: 🔹 Reflect on experiences—both positive and challenging. 🔹 Explore ways to structure projects that address ECR needs. 🔹 Strengthen skills in networking, collaboration, leadership, and scientific communication. It’s time to create a supportive community within research teams—especially in large, dispersed consortiums! 🌍 Join them to collaborate, learn, and thrive together. https://lnkd.in/ePs_5uxR #ReducingRisksTogether #ECR #ResearchLeadership #Collaboration #ScientificCommunity

New project on #climaterisk kicked off in Bergen this week! Together with Asplan Viak AS CICERO will work with Bergen kommune to better understand climate risks and vulnerability from compound events. Compound extreme events are, according to the IPCC, the combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Examples include a storm surge in combination with extreme #rainfall or river flow, concurrent #heatwaves and #droughts or the combination of hot, dry and windy conditions increasing #fire risk. The collaboration with Bergen municipality will ensure exchange of new knowledge between the local level and the EU project MYRIAD-EU . MYRIAD-EU aims to improve disaster risk management by looking at multi-hazards and multi-sector risk assessment e.g. through a Scandinavian pilot study that is focused on the agriculture, forestry and energy sectors.

Some areas are more prone to floods than others. Heavy downpours in highly urbanised coastal areas set off a chain of compound hazards. The strong correlation between urban sprawl and increased flood risk is primarily attributed to #soil sealing: the phenomenon by which soil retains less water as a result of the construction of buildings, roads, and other urban infrastructure.   Torrential precipitation in mountainous volcanic islands can initiate flash floods that mobilise a mudflow of loose volcanic material. These are named #lahars, and they can move rapidly down valleys like rivers of concrete. Modelling and projections are of paramount importance in areas along the Mediterranean coastline and places of similar hydrogeological structure.
