Compound Events

Compound events often span multiple hazard types and locations and cause complex impacts to communities, ecosystems, and economies. It is therefore critical to connect scientific disciplines at an international level for furthering our collective understanding of these events.

The aim of the compound events working group is to create and sustain an international community with an interest in weather/climate compound events, including their characteristics, risks, and impacts. Our focus is mostly on the physical science of high-impact compound events, but we encourage contributions and insights from all fields.
