How might the severe risk posed by convective storms become worse? As global temperatures rise, individual thunderstorms might become more intense or frequent. But, perhaps our concern should focus on entirely new or unrecognized 'compound' risks caused by combinations of two or more hazards or events, which may prove more catastrophic. However, these possibilities are largely unexplored.This PhD will address the as yet unseen hazards associated with severe convective storms (SCS), driven by impact-inspired questions about SCS extremity, and focussed by pairing a case-study site with excellent modelling (UK) with an area of higher hazard (Himalaya). The PhD's first question is: How severe might individual SCS events get? The second question is: How might SCS events combine?

对流风暴带来的严重风险如何变得更糟？随着全球气温的上升，个别雷暴可能会变得更加强烈或频繁。但是，也许我们的关注应该集中在两个或两个以上的危害或事件的组合所造成的全新的或未被认识的“复合”风险，这可能被证明是更具灾难性的。然而，这些可能性在很大程度上是未经探索的。这个博士将解决与强对流风暴（SCS）相关的尚未看到的危害，由SCS极端的影响启发的问题驱动，并通过配对一个案例研究网站与优秀的建模（英国）与高风险地区（喜马拉雅山）的重点。博士的第一个问题是：个别SCS事件可能有多严重？第二个问题是：SCS事件可能如何联合收割机？
