Impact-based forecasting of tropical cyclone-related human displacement to support anticipatory action Open
Tropical cyclones (TCs) displace millions every year. While TCs pose hardships and threaten lives, their negative impacts can be reduced by anticipatory actions like evacuation and humanitarian aid coordination. In addition to weather fore…
Impact-based forecasting for human displacement by tropical cyclones to support anticipatory humanitarian action Open
Tropical cyclones (TCs) displace the second-largest number of people each year among all natural hazards, following floods. While TCs impose hardships and threaten lives, the negative impacts can be mitigated through anticipatory action su…

Rapid increase in the risk of heat-related mortality Open
Heat-related mortality has been identified as one of the key climate extremes posing a risk to human health. Current research focuses largely on how heat mortality increases with mean global temperature rise, but it is unclear how much cli…

Globally consistent tropical cyclones impact forecast system for population displacement Open
Tropical cyclones (TCs) displace millions of people every year. Displaced people are subject to heightened risks to their physical and mental well-being. We present the first results of a TC impact forecast system for population displaceme…
Rapid changes in return periods of heat-related mortality extremes Open
The risk of extreme heat mortality is ever increasing with the rapidly changing climate. With the collision of several mega-trends aging societies, urbanization, inequality the need for a comprehensive heat mortality risk analysis is growi…
