We are excited to share the second COMPASS Newsletter, designed to update you on the progress and results of our project activities, along with other significant developments in the field
Extreme event attribution (EEA) studies have become a critical tool for understanding how climate change influences the likelihood and severity of extreme weather events. However, most studies to date have
World Weather Attribution (WWA)highlighted that “of a total of seven WWA studies that produced inconclusive results, four focused on weather events in Africa”, while “investment in climate science and weather
The COMPASS project recently released a gridded dataset of global exposure (population, gross domestic product and net fixed asset value) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc seconds (≈0.93 km
The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) hosted the 2nd General Assembly of the COMPASS project, which took place on 12th and 13th of February 2025, in Potsdam Germany.
On 11 February 2025, the 2nd COMPASS workshop on impact attribution of disasters took place at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). The event was filled with engaging
This work is part of the work package WP5 “Demonstrator with steps towards an operational deployment” of the COMPASS project, whose overarching objective is to characterize compound extremes in current
There are currently many well-established climate attribution methodologies for single driver extremes, however, there is very little literature on more complex extremes such as compound, sequences and cascading hazard events.
Tropical cyclone-induced storm surge is a major coastal risk, which will be further amplified by rising sea levels under global warming. Here, a computational framework is presented, globally applicable modeling
The 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum was held in Davos, Switzerland on 20-24th January 2025, and convened the foremost leaders from government, business and civil society –
COMPASS aims to develop a harmonised, yet flexible, methodological framework for climate and impact attribution of various complex extremes that includes compound, sequences and cascading hazard events
