Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather events—including heatwaves, droughts, floods, tropical cyclones, and wildfires—have profound impacts on societies, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. This page presents a curated selection of remarkable events that have attracted my attention in the context of my research on climate extremes, compound events, and their impacts. Each case study combines satellite observations, meteorological analyses, impact information, and, where available, event attribution studies.
