REMINDER: Invitation to ICTP Colloquium "Artificial Intelligence for Detection and Attribution of Climate Extremes" on Thursday, 23 June at 17:00

[ICTP Director]

> Dear All,
>
> on behalf of the Director, you are cordially invited to the ICTP 
> Colloquium on *"Artificial Intelligence for Detection and Attribution 
> of Climate Extremes"* on Thursday, 23 June at 17:00 in the Budinich 
> Lecture Hall in the context of the IYBSSD2022.
>
> Climate extreme are the source of most of the climate related risks 
> that can affect society and ecosystem. The machine learning techniques 
> could help the more traditional dynamical and statistical methods to 
> detect them, attribute the extremes to global warming and to have a 
> more accurate future projection.
>
> The ability to correctly communicate how global warming is connected 
> with changes in extremes and the role of machine learning in this  is 
> of crucial importance for the society for developing and planning 
> mitigation and adaptation capacity.
>
> _Speakers at the event will be:_
>
> *Robert Vautard*, Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace, Paris, France and 
> *Dim Coumou*, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
>
> _Prof. Vautard _is a meteorologist and climatologist who focuses on 
> the phenomenon of atmospheric blocking. He progressed his work in 
> several directions: atmospheric dynamics and its predictability, the 
> modelling of atmospheric pollution, regional climate modelling and the 
> study of extreme weather-climate events.
>
> _Prof. Coumou_'s prime research interest is understanding how global 
> warming affects the number and intensity of extreme weather events 
> like heat waves, heavy rainfall, storms and persistent droughts. He 
> uses a variety of methods, including advanced statistical analyses, 
> climate models and novel machine learning techniques, to gain new 
> insights.
