Temperature-Related Climate Hazards
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
This collection is dedicated to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on temperature-related climate hazards – heat waves, drought, wildfire, and air quality – and their intersections. We invite submissions spanning past and future trends, physical/chemical drivers, impacts (socioeconomic, agricultural, environmental, health, etc.), and risk mitigation and resilience under climate change for both individual and compound hazards. Phenomenological examples may include wildfire-driven smoke, sequential drought and wildfire, and compound heat waves and drought, though submissions on any topic related to one or more of temperature-related hazardous events are welcome. We seek a balance of research papers (process-oriented papers and empirical papers, or their combination) and perspective/comment/review papers from a wide range of disciplines and geographic regions.

Daniel R Chavas is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. His research interests are in extreme weather, climate, and risk, including under climate change. His specialties are in tropical cyclones and in severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. He combines observations, theory, and real-world and idealized modeling to understand how these phenomena work, why our climate system produces them, and how we can better predict their hazards and impacts to society.
