Hydrometeorological extreme events in a changing climate - an Austrian perspective

Vortragender: Klaus Haslinger (GeoSphere Austria)

Kolloquium Department of Meteorology and Geophysics

Das Kolloquium ist eine Kooperation mit VINAR (Vienna Network for Atmospheric Research) and GeoSphere Austria (ehemals ZAMG)

The presentation highlights hydrometeorological extremes in Austria in the context of climate change - ranging from droughts and precipitation variability to heavy rainfall and floods. It discusses historical developments, atmospheric drivers, and recent trends, showing how both droughts and extreme rainfall events are changing in intensity and frequency. The goal is to improve understanding of the interactions between natural climate variability and climate change in order to better assess future risks.
