<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With apologies for any cross-posting, I wanted to draw your attention to an AGU session that I am co-hosting (with Claudia Tebaldi and Jana Sillmann) on the use of impacts- and risk-relevant hazards in climate studies:
<b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black;background:white">GC050. From Hazard to Risk: Indicators of climate and weather extremes for impacts </span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We seek leading studies from the AgMIP community (and beyond) that can identify weather- and climate-related metrics directly relevant for the quantification of risk, including exposure and vulnerability aspects. The session is not restricted
to agricultural studies, but we expect that agriculture and food security will be a leading sector for contributions. A number of climate extreme indices (e.g., ETCCDI’s) have successfully provided a range of metrics to record and study extremes in the physical
world; however, we hope to move towards identifying indicators that better connect to impacts by either directly incorporating a measure of vulnerability/exposure/damages or by facilitating translation into them. Examples could be temperature threshold exceedances
damaging to crops, start- or end-of-season agro-climatic metrics, critical over-winter temperatures for agricultural pests, metrics of heat extremes connected to detrimental health effects (or requiring operational response), etc. We welcome submissions that
develop or contrast such metrics and also those that demonstrate their potential with further interdisciplinary work. We are also interested in addressing uncertainties related to indicator definition, projections and/or resultant impacts. We intend this session
to inform the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC, specifically chapters addressing climate hazards, extremes, regional climate information, and risk assessment.<o:p></o:p></p>
