EXTREME EVENTS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR DETECTION AND ATTRIBUTION

CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Report and delivery of a draft framework for event definition developed in collaboration with stakeholders

(Task 2.1) This report will provide clear guidance and principles on how to define an event to be considered in an attribution study that is on one hand closely related to what actually caused the damages and thus societies are vulnerable to and on the other hand can in principle be simulated using state-of-the-art climate models. Given the diverse nature of damages, societies and stakeholders as well as hazards there will be no strict framework, but instead a set of principles that allows flexibility with respect to divers vulnerabilities and stakeholder needs.

Report on joint activities with other EU projects

[Task 1.3] This report will describe the common activities that have took place at M18 with other EU. We envisage in particular a strong link with the C3S, and the H2020 EUCP project. We will report also on common activities with parallel projects of the same call.

List of high precipitation and flood events for the present and future periods

"By using the available observations and survey a list of high precipitation and flood events will be compiled. For hurricanes we will largely rely on the HURDAT database available at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/#hurdat. A similar list will be done for the events detected and not by the CP models in present and future scenario simulations. (from Task 8.1)"

Report on the Summer training school

Report on the Summer training school. The report will include in particular the programme, the training exercises, the number of participant, an evaluation from participating students and young researchers. [Task 1.2]

Report detailing and collating databases of impacts, vulnerability and exposure relevant to extreme weather events

(Task 2.2) This report will provide an overview of currently available data and crucially highlight gaps in the data available to truly learn from past extreme events. This will consist of hazard data as well as data on damages, economic and non-economic but also other determinants of vulnerability, like population structure and changes. Ultimately allowing stakeholders to assess physical, transition and liability risks.

Value promotion plan

A plan for promoting various values from the promotion committee (recruitment, climate and environment fairness, communication, ethics)

Project website

The website will target both the scientific community and the large public and updated on a regular basis.

Open source code for detection and characterization of spatio-temporal extreme events

(Task 3.2) An open source toolbox based on spatio-temporal deep learning architectures will be deployed with tunable parameterizations and training modules. Several examples of use will be included to deal with (i) detection and (ii) characterization of extremes. A Jupyter notebook will exemplify tools, tuning and applications in control scenarios, aimed to serve adoption by other members of the consortium (inside WP3 and in collaborations with WP4 and WP7). This deliverable will be also accompanied by a report on the theoretical underpinnings and limitations of the proposed methods in terms of computational efficiency, automatism and robustness (to noise and dimensionality).
