EXTREME EVENTS

February 17-20th, 2019

Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove

The past year has been marked by extreme heat, wildfires, landslide and flooding events. These events are related to immediate weather conditions as well as recent historic drought conditions. The workshop encourages participation from climate scientists who are examining the climate dynamics behind extreme events and paleoclimatologists reconstructing past extreme events and connections. We also encourage the participation of archaeologists and historians who examine the impact of such events on society as well as current policy and emergency preparedness managers.
