MYRIAD-EU

It’s 🌍 DAY Droughts, floods, earthquakes, extreme weather and temperatures, volcanic activity, wildfires, glacial lake outburst floods, dry mass movement, wet mass movements, storm surges - these natural hazards are no longer existing in isolation, but they are colliding and cascading across sectors, borders, and communities.     This #EarthDay, Myriad-EU stresses the urgency of addressing #MultiHazard, #MultiRisk assessment and management, because resilience today means understanding how multiple hazards intertwine. #ReducingRisksTogether #ClimateRisks #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResearch #HorizonEurope   

What causes extreme #Heat and #Drought to hit central Europe at the same time? 🔥 🌡️   Research by Yinglin Tian, Domenico Giaquinto, Giorgia Di Capua, Judith Claassen, Javed Ali, Hao Li, Carlo De Michele sheds light on this question, revealing that compound hot and dry extremes in central Europe aren’t just random. They are driven by a powerful mix of large-scale atmospheric patterns and local surface conditions. 🌪️ 🌬️ 🌏   Using #CausalEffectNetworks, the study found that up to 10 days before these extremes occur, a distinct high-pressure system forms over central Europe, paired with a low-pressure system in the western North Atlantic. These patterns link back to specific ocean temperature contrasts in the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacific.    As global temperatures rise, the connection between dry soils and heat has grown 67% stronger. Simulations suggest that the effect of vapour pressure deficit – that is the amount of moisture in the air and moisture capacity - makes it seem like the soil has lost more than half of its moisture. That means more feedback loops, less predictability, and tougher decisions for climate adaptation. ⚠️📉    Want to delve deeper into the science behind these growing risks?  ➡️ Read the full publication here: https://lnkd.in/ekPVsXMc    #ReducingRisksTogether #MultiRisk #MultiHazard #ExtremeWeather #DisasterRisk #EuropeanSummers #ClimateModelling #SoilMoisture #EuropeanResearch #ClimateResearch #HorizonEurope

It was a great pleasure to see all of my colleagues from the MYRIAD-EU project again during our final General Assembly this week in #Oslo. It was organised by our project’s Scandinavian pilot members Anne Sophie Daloz and Lin Ma, who did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly, and it was hosted at the Climate Centre for International Climate Research (#CICERO). We were lucky to enjoy Oslo with great weather and we even got to see some of its surroundings during our pre-GA trip to Hemsedal, where we did some hiking and skiing. While the project is ending this year and this was our last GA, the work that we are doing and the connections that we have made within this project will extent well into the future. The goodbyes at the last day will also be short-lived, as many MYRIAD-members will be attending #EGU2025 already in a couple of weeks from now. #MYRIADEU #multihazards #ReducingRisksTogether #HorizonEurope

[originally posted on 01/04, now updated with edited programme]    🌍🌾 The Future of Agriculture in a Changing Climate  Increased heat stress, shifting growing seasons, water scarcity, disease risks, soil degradation and declining nutritional quality: these are just some of the challenges that a changing climate poses to our agricultural fields.     Reduced agricultural productivity threatens to drive higher food prices, increased poverty, and food insecurity, especially in vulnerable regions. Farmers face increased costs for irrigation, pest control, and climate-resilient crop varieties, all of which further straining their livelihoods.    💡 Join experts on 23 April for a whole afternoon conference focused on #ClimateChange risks in #Agrifood. Engage with leading experts as they tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time and explore solutions to safeguard the roots of our food supply chain.    📍 Where: Fundecyt, Badajoz, Spain (and online)  ➡️ Scan the QR code to go to the live stream    👥 Myriad consortium members who wish to attend in person are encouraged to send an email by 15 April to: javier.gonzalo@juntaex.es #ReducingRisksTogether #FoodSecurity #FutureOfFarming #MultiHazard #Research #HorizonEurope #ClimateAdaptation #EuropeanResearch #RiskManagement #RiskAssessment 

Thanks CICERO - Center for International Climate Research for hosting us this year! 🇳🇴 🌎

🌍 Big things are brewing in the (n)ice north ❄️     This week, the annual #GA is in full swing in Oslo, which means that Scandinavia is stealing the spotlight! 🇳🇴✨ Among the many pressing topics on the table: how to scale up pilot solutions in the face of rising climate hazards. And guess what? The Scandinavian pilot region is leading by example.    In their research, Anne Sophie Daloz and Lin Ma are exploring the interactions between multiple hazards, and how they ripple across agriculture, forestry, and energy. From cascading impacts to sector-spanning risks, it’s a full-spectrum approach.     To understand both direct and indirect climate risks, researchers are leveraging the Global Responses to Anthropogenic Changes in the Environment (#GRACE) Model.    This model simulates global economic impacts of climate change and policy responses – considering population growth, tech innovation, investments, and more. It helps paint a bigger picture: how shocks in one sector can echo across others, and across borders.    🔍📊 Do you want to learn more about how to quantify climate risks with #GRACE?  ➡️ CICERO - Center for International Climate Research has more details here: https://lnkd.in/ex2nGnfB #ReducingRisksTogether #ClimateChange #Research #RiskAssessment #RiskManagement #ClimateAdaptation #HorizonEurope #OsloGA2025 

Next up: the 2025 #GeneralAssembly 🇳🇴 Hosted by the Scandinavia Pilot and CICERO - Center for International Climate Research, this GA will be yet another opportunity to take stock of the latest advancements in MYRIAD-EU and in multi-hazard research. The programme is already brimming with activities: from exchange opportunities for ECRs to engaging knowledge-sharing sessions, from a Wikithon to hands-on writing workshops. The assembly will offer a physical platform to materialise and further the work that has been done so far across the MYRIAD community. 📅 Dates: April 7th – 9th, 2025 📍 Location: Oslo, Norway The best innovation stories happen offstage. Give us a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes by tagging #MYRIAD_EU! #ReducingRisksTogether #MultiRisk #MultiRiskResearch #ClimateAdaptation #HorizonEurope

"Great to see AGILE in action at the World Bosai Forum! 🌊 Proud to present recent results from MYRIAD-EU and the Veneto pilot and contribute to key discussions on disaster resilience, risk management and climate change adaptation. Honored to be part of this global effort! 💪🌍 #AGILE_EU #WorldBosaiForum #Resilience #DisasterRiskReduction #MYRIAD-EU "

Veneto’s coastal region is a striking blend of natural wealth and vulnerability.  Known for its rich history, fertile agricultural lands and frenzied economic activities, the area is also home to dense population and delicate ecosystems. Given its low-lying topography, proximity to the Adriatic Sea, and the interplay of river systems like the Po and Adige coupled with an evolving climate, the region is prone to coastal flooding.   Threats like rising sea levels, heavy precipitation, and storm surges extend beyond the Veneto region and affect many other coastal zones across Europe: these all demand forward-thinking resilience strategies.     Conventional risk assessment methods fail to grasp the intricate relationships between multiple hazards. To tackle this challenge, researchers from #MYRIAD_EU have introduced: 💡 An advanced two-tier Machine Learning approach estimating the frequency of climate-related impacts based on daily hazard indicators.  Maria Katherina Dal Barco, Margherita Maraschini, Ngoc Diep Nguyen, Davide Mauro Ferrario, Olinda Rufo, Heloisa Fonseca, Sebastiano Vascon, Silvia Torresan, Andrea Critto shed light on the importance of proactive risk management strategies for Veneto’s coastal municipalities, advocating the integration of this two-tier approach into adaptive management strategies.    Curious to learn more?
