About
Extreme weather and climate hazard can cause dramatic impacts on both natural ecosystems and human wellbeing and/or infrastructure and thereby harm society as a whole. Of particular concern are compound weather and climate extreme events, where the hazardous conditions of various extreme events combine and may have more detrimental effects than individual extremes. Increasing the adaptation and resilience to multi-hazards means reducing either vulnerability, exposure, or enhancing response capacities. The science basis needed for achieving this comes via a better understanding of the impact cascades triggered by compound climate events.
The ARCEME project aims at
- Developing a framework to assess a selection of multi-hazards from a variety of angles and scales, detection based on long-term climate and reported impacts, combining EO archives and other observation data, with methods tailored to multivariate event detection.
- Sampling a subset of large events in Sentinel era and extracting the high resolution EO event data cubes.
- Analysing the events “fingerprints” for understanding dynamics in such events.
- Assess the resilience capacity of contrasting land managements to mitigate the impacts of multi-hazards.
- Sharing the tested and validated workflow in a cloud environment and developing it further based on community feedback.
- Engaging with the community via workshops and science discussions to further develop the proposed framework.
The project is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
