ESF-COST research conference on extreme environmental events, Cambridge, United Kingdom
13 December 2010 - 13 December 2010
United Kingdom
The European Science Foundation (ESF) - European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) research conference on extreme environmental events will take place from 13 to 17 December 2010 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
The definition of extreme weather includes weather phenomena that are at the edges of historical patterns, especially severe or unseasonal weather.
Understanding the frequency and magnitude of extreme environmental events and their impacts is a critical aspect of climate prediction. This conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group including statisticians, climate modellers, meteorologists, and other environmental scientists to focus on extreme events and the uncertainties inherent in their understanding.
Sessions will include:
- extreme events and statistical methodology,
- modelling of extreme environmental events,
- impacts of extreme events.For further information, please visit: http://www.esf.org/index.php?id=7048(opens in new window)
