*"Climate impacts on cold- and heat-related mortality"*


_Abstract_
Exposure to cold and heat poses a risk to human health. This talk will 
present recent work about the impacts of climate change on 
temperature-related excess mortality, encompassing attribution of 
observed changes and future projections. The geographic scale of the 
presented studies ranges from hundreds of cities worldwide, based on the 
Multi-City Multi-Country (MCC) Collaborative Research Project, to 
individual countries in Europe. Besides introducing basic concepts and 
summarizing recent published results, the talk will discuss novel 
approaches for taking acclimatization/adaptation into account when 
projecting possible future trajectories of temperature-related excess 
mortality.

_Bio_

Veronika Huber is a climate impacts scientist with a special interest in 
human health and aquatic systems. In her research she has employed 
various quantitative modeling techniques to analyze empirical data.

Currently, she works as a Senior Researcher at Universidad Pablo de 
Olavide (UPO) in Sevilla, being a sectoral coordinator for health in the 
Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP). She is 
also involved in the MCC Collaborative Research Network on weather and 
health.


This series of lectures is a new joint initiative between the Earth 
System Physics group at ICTP and the Atmospherics Physics group at the 
University of Trento.
