3rd Como Training School on Compound climate-related Events
Compound weather and climate events originate from multiple climate drivers that act in combination to amplify societal or environmental risk, posing serious threats to natural systems and human societies. Modelling compound events and their risks under current and future climates requires knowledge about advanced statistical and numerical methods, and about underlying physical mechanisms.
After the success of the first two Training Schools on Statistical Modelling of Compound Events in 2019 and 2022, we are excited to announce the third edition of this school to train the next generation of compound event researchers. The school will provide a comprehensive introduction to compound events and to various statistical approaches and frameworks for their assessment, focusing on key issues like causality, network analysis, dynamics, and impacts.
In addition to lectures from experts in the field, a key component of the school will be group projects to provide a hands-on application of the concepts and to socialize with the other participants and lecturers.
