Climate Extremes as the Norm

"In the absence of effective global climate mitigation actions, we may thus witness a qualitative regime shift from a world dominated by individual climate-related hazards and impacts to one where compound occurrences become the norm."

A study of #HurricaneLane in 2020 examined how #ClimateChange can lead to #CompoundHazards in #RiskAssessment.

"The simultaneous occurrence of rain-driven flooding & landslides, high-intensity winds, & multiple fires complicated emergency response. The compounding nature of the hazards produced during the Hurricane Lane event highlights the need to improve anticipation of complex feedback mechanisms among climate- & weather-related phenomena"

[Understanding how volcano activity may change over time is particularly important as climate change continues to have direct and indirect effects on how volcanoes behave.]
