On early warning systems and the Indian Ocean Dipole – managing meteorological risks
Weather hazards impact every aspect of our lives, from our daily routines to the functioning of entire societies. But with the changing climate, our traditional hazard prediction and risk mitigation approaches face unprecedented challenges. This session will focus on connecting theory to practice in disaster prediction, showcasing the science behind early warnings and their implementation in real-world scenarios.
This lecture, part of the Risk and Disaster Reduction taster series, introduces the concept and practical application of early warning systems for managing meteorological risks, specifically through the example of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Delivered by Dr Shipra Jain, the talk explores Dr Jain's research and practical experience in predicting and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events.
