Study Discovered New Methods to Predict Unrecorded Extreme Weather Events
A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications reveals how communities can anticipate extreme weather events that have never been recorded in modern history. Researchers from the Climate Adaptation Services Foundation the University of Reading, and international institutions have developed new techniques that go beyond conventional weather records, which typically span only the last century.
