Advances in the subseasonal prediction of extreme events: Relevant case studies across the globe
Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS), 2022 Extreme weather events have devastating impacts on human health, economic activities, ecosys tems, and infrastructure. It is therefore crucial to anticipate extremes and their impacts to allow for preparedness and emergency measures.

Modeling Extreme Events: Time-Varying Extreme Tail Shape [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 A dynamic semi-parametric framework is proposed to study time variation in tail fatness of sovereign bond yield changes during the 2010--2012 euro area sovereign debt crisis measured at a high (15-minute) frequency. The framework builds on the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for modeling peaks over thresholds as in Extreme Value Theory, but casts

Politics of attributing extreme events and disasters to climate change
WIREs Climate Change, 2021 Climate change certainly shapes weather events. However, describing climate and weather as the cause of disasters can be misleading, since disasters are caused by pre‐existing fragilities and inequalities on the ground.

Predictability of extreme events in social media [PDF]
, 2014 It is part of our daily social-media experience that seemingly ordinary items (videos, news, publications, etc.) unexpectedly gain an enormous amount of attention. Here we investigate how unexpected these events are.

Risk Transfer for Populations in Precarious Urban Environments
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2020 This study explores risk transfer options that precarious and marginal urban communities could use to protect themselves from future damages and losses generated by socio-natural hazards and disasters at the individual and community levels. The design is
