CMS-0084727Sarewitz, Daniel R.Extreme events, ranging from earthquakes to epidemics to computer viruses, cause major societal disruption. Yet extreme events are also normal aspects of evolving complex systems, and may be beneficial (e.g., floods contribute to ecosystem health). Scientific approach to understanding, preparing for, and responding to extreme events are Balkanized among disciplines, institutions, and sectors. In this project, we are convening experts involved with extreme events from a variety of perspectives, as a first step toward developing an integrated research and policy approach to address the implications of extreme events in an increasingly global society.

从地震到流行病再到计算机病毒的极端事件，会造成重大的社会混乱。然而，极端事件也是不断演变的复杂系统的正常方面，可能是有益的(例如，洪水有助于生态系统健康)。理解、准备和应对极端事件的科学方法在不同的学科、机构和部门之间被割裂开来。在这个项目中，我们将从不同的角度召集参与极端事件的专家，作为制定综合研究和政策方法的第一步，以应对极端事件在日益全球化的社会中的影响。
