Interdisciplinary Workshop on Weather and Climate Extremes

该项目旨在组织和举办题为“极端天气和气候的跨学科研讨会”的研讨会，该研讨会将于2023年5月16日至18日在南卡罗来纳州的克莱姆森举行。近年来，由于气候和极端天气(如野火、热浪、风暴潮)造成的经济损失增加。极值理论(EVT)为研究天气和气候极端事件提供了一个框架。与更传统的统计方法相比，许多地球科学家和统计学家对EVT的了解较少。因此，至关重要的是，具有EVT专门知识的统计学家必须与从事统计学、大气和水文科学领域工作的地球科学家和应用统计学家互动。该讲习班的主要目的如下：(I)促进统计学家、大气和水文科学家之间的合作；(Ii)介绍最先进的方法；以及(Iii)培养研究极端天气和气候的新人才。研讨会将包括几项有组织的活动，包括短期课程、小组讨论、受邀的科学报告、海报会议以及团队建设和集思广益练习，以建立新的研究方向和小组。即将举行的天气和气候极端事件研讨会的计划包括以下主题：i)空间和时空极端事件的模型；ii)使用气候模型预测未来极端事件；iii)极端事件的探测和归因；iv)沿海风险和热带气旋；v)机器/深度学习和极端事件；vi)将大规模条件和极端事件联系起来。该项目将鼓励研究生、职业生涯早期研究人员以及在统计学和地学领域任职人数不足的群体成员参与。有关研讨会的更多详细信息，请访问：https://whitneyhuang83.github.io/WCE2023.This奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project is for the purpose of organizing and holding a workshop titled "Interdisciplinary Workshop on Weather and Climate Extremes" which will be held in Clemson, South Carolina on May 16-18, 2023. Recent years have seen an increase in economic losses due to climate and weather extremes, such as wildfires, heat waves, storm surges. Extreme value theory (EVT) provides a framework for studying weather and climate extremes. Compared to more traditional statistical methods, EVT is less well known to many geoscientists and statisticians. It is therefore critical that statisticians with specialized knowledge of EVT interact with geoscientists and applied statisticians working at the interface of statistics, atmospheric and hydrological sciences. This workshop have the following major aims: (i) to facilitate collaborations among statisticians, atmospheric and hydrological scientists; (ii) to present state-of-the-art methods; and (iii) to develop new talent in studying weather and climate extremes. The workshop will include several organized activities, including short courses, panel discussions, invited scientific presentations, a poster session, and team building and brainstorming exercises to establish new research directions and groups. The program of the forthcoming Workshop on Weather and Climate Extremes features the following topics: i) Models for Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Extremes; ii) Using Climate Models to Project Future Extremes; iii) Detection and Attribution of Extremes; iv) Coastal Risk and Tropical Cyclones; v) Machine/Deep Learning and Extremes; vi) Linking Large-Scale Conditions and Extreme Events. This project will encourage the participation of graduate students, early-career researchers, and members of groups under-represented in statistics and geosciences.
