Is it possible to connect the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events with climate change? How do space-based observations of Earth support the latest in climate science?

Extreme weather events are constantly in the news, from devastating wildfires to destructive hurricanes. These natural disasters have tremendous impacts on our lives and economy, causing billions of dollars in damages and hundreds of deaths every year. With the growing availability of data from space-based observations of Earth, researchers are now learning to identify when some classes of extreme events (such as heat waves, drought, coastal flooding, and intense precipitation) are caused or worsened by anthropogenic climate change.

Join us for a public lecture on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 5:30pm ET to hear from NASA Senior Climate Advisor Gavin Schmidt about Earth observations from space and their unique perspective on climate. During the lecture, he'll explore the emerging science of extreme event attribution and what the next decade might hold.

Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change 
  |
| 
As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well ...
