This workshop will bring together a diverse range of climate scientists and climate-impacts researchers to establish the state of knowledge of correlated climate extremes, survey current research, and delineate future research programs and priorities. The intention is to expand and integrate the community of researchers and practitioners considering correlation, whether it involves climate events which are extreme in multiple variables (compound); events which are simultaneous but separated in space (concurrent); or events which impact the same location sequentially or persistently. Through cross-disciplinary dialogue, which the organizers will foster through a variety of guided and freeform discussions, the workshop will help clarify and distill lines of inquiry that are still largely separated by distance and specialization. The resultant themes will be emphasized further in a perspectives piece that will be made publically available. This award provides travel support for diverse U.S.-based students and early-career scientists. The award will enable participation of one of the pioneers in the study of compound events who is based in the Netherlands.Correlated climate extremes exist in a variety of forms and are expected to increase greatly in frequency and severity as a consequence of anthropogenic climate change. There has so far been very little communication among the different communities that study such extremes, leading to a lack of consistency in definitions and a paucity of understanding of the mechanisms that underlie these events and their associated risks. This workshop will focus on the cutting edge of work being done to understand statistics, dynamics, and thermodynamics affecting correlated climate extremes, with a particular goal of beginning to build a common framework around which future work can be designed. The attendees will comprise experts in hydrology, climate dynamics, tropical climatology, statistics, and other fields among whom structured dialogue will be fostered in order to ensure that intellectual cross-communication is achieved.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研讨会将汇集各种气候科学家和气候影响研究人员，以建立相关气候极端事件的知识状况，调查当前的研究，并确定未来的研究计划和优先事项。目的是扩大和整合考虑相关性的研究人员和从业者群体，无论是否涉及多变量（复合）极端的气候事件；同时发生但在空间上分开的事件（并发）；或连续或持续影响同一位置的事件。组织者将通过各种有指导的、自由形式的讨论来促进跨学科对话，研讨会将有助于澄清和提炼仍然在很大程度上因距离和专业而分开的探究路线。由此产生的主题将在公开发表的观点文章中进一步强调。该奖项为不同的美国学生和早期职业科学家提供旅行支持。该奖项将使来自荷兰的复合事件研究先驱之一能够参与其中。相关的极端气候以多种形式存在，并且由于人为气候变化，预计其频率和严重程度将大大增加。迄今为止，研究此类极端事件的不同群体之间的沟通很少，导致定义缺乏一致性，并且对这些事件及其相关风险背后的机制缺乏了解。本次研讨会将重点关注正在开展的前沿工作，以了解影响相关极端气候的统计、动力学和热力学，其具体目标是开始建立一个共同框架，围绕该框架设计未来的工作。与会者将包括水文学、气候动力学、热带气候学、统计学和其他领域的专家，他们之间将促进结构化对话，以确保实现知识交叉交流。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
