Impressed by GenCast, the ML-based weather forecasting model nature.com/articles/s41... Curious @GoogleDeepMind - Bc it penalizes deviations from the truth, could a complementary risk-optimized model improve its ability to capture uncertainty and better represent extreme events?

This work resulted from an amazing interdisciplinary collaboration of our #TISP survey project and @ETH climate researchers @SimonaMeiler @KropfChahan @sam_luethi @DavidBresch – thank you so much!🤝 Here’s the #preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/mq9x6

Do people attribute extreme weather events to #climate change? Is attribution linked to the severity of events? Is it related to #policy support? Does it differ between countries and types of extreme weather? 🌏 We tested this with the #CLIMADA risk model and a global #survey 🔍

Excited to share our new preprint on extreme weather & climate policy support! 🌍🔥 Over 70K people in 68 countries were surveyed. We found that belief in climate change’s impact on extreme weather boosts climate policy support - but living in affected areas doesn’t always do so.

⏩ The analogous study using an alternative TC dataset, STORM @Bloemendaal_N, tara.tcd.ie/handle/2262/1032… provides a valuable, additional perspective. A synthesis study of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis across more TC hazard models is coming up. 5/6

How many people could die due to heat during an extreme summer?🥵🥵 Our study on rapidly increasing risk of summers with very high heat-related mortality levels in 748 locations across the globe was published today in Nature communications @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

These results should also be understood as a representation of the maturity of TC hazard modelling as a field. In contrast to the other key components - exposure and vulnerability - hazard simulations are much more advanced.
