Extreme weather LIVE chat with Davide Faranda

Join us at 12:15 p.m. central (17:15 UTC) on Monday as we talk about dangerous and sometimes deadly weather extremes with climatologist Davide Faranda. He is research director in climate physics in the Laboratoire de Science du Climat et de l’Environnement in France. He’s an expert on cold spells, heatwaves, cyclones and severe thunderstorms.

Faranda’s expertise focuses on how extreme weather events may be linked to overall warming on Earth. He wants to understand how much greenhouse gasses influence the occurrence of these extremes. And he demonstrates event-by-event findings at the website ClimaMeter.org.

Dr. Davide Faranda is the research director in climate physics in the Laboratoire de Science du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). At LSCE, Davide coordinates the group ESTIMR, which works at understanding climate extremes from a statistical and dynamical point of view. He is also an external fellow of the London Mathematical Laboratory, and of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique de l’École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Image via Davide Faranda.
