Welcome

It is undisputed that the Earth is experiencing a period of changing climate, and due to climate change, it is expected that large-scale extreme events (for example, heat waves, floods, storm surges, hurricanes, or wildfires) may become more frequent, severe, and interdependent. 

An important step towards global resilience to these extreme phenomena is to develop models that can accurately predict the frequency and severity of such widespread extremes. This requires a combined research effort between various scientific fields, namely, extreme-value theory, traditional spatial statistics, scientific machine learning, and civil and environmental engineering.

The workshop’s main goal is to bring together leading experts from these disciplines, in order to develop new collaborations, delineate mathematical and statistical challenges, and advance the state-of-the-art in the area of modeling and inference for high-dimensional spatiotemporal, compound extreme events.

All lectures of the conference will be held in the auditorium of the Student Center Ballroom DE  on the campus of Colorado School of Mines. A campus map can be found here, where you may also find a lot of useful information for visiting and parking on campus.
