Dr Alexandra Diehl (ETH Zurich): Visualization Research for Characterization of High Impact Weather Events (HIWE)

25 March 2024, 14-15 h in H-C 7327

— The talk will be held at a later date. —

The efficient analysis, decision making, and communication of high-impact weather events (HIWE) and their associated risks is a challenging and ongoing research topic for meteorologists and computer scientists. The challenge is due, in part, to the inherent unpredictability of weather and the difficulty of quantifying its risk and communicating its uncertainties.

In this talk, I will summarize my recent contributions to the research on efficient visualization tools for the analysis and communication of weather forecasts and the characterization of HIWEs. I will also present my current efforts in citizen data analysis and discuss the open challenges for efficient communication of severe weather events through citizen participatory science.
