are impacts linear or not
not - more jumpy
geological impacts
• river flooding • hurricanes • glacier hazards • sea level rise
human impacts
• cost of pensions are dependent • infastructure • health impacts • loss of life • migration etc
what’s event based attribution
find out how many times an event occurs in a model of preindustrial GHG forcing and current levels assess the difference
what makes flooding worse
rainfall groundwater levels rising basic catchment hydrology river network characteristics
ways to compare hurricane intensity
• power dissipation index • storm maximum power dissipation index its the rise in magnitude that does the harm
what is the rough lag time of glacier floods
100 years glacier floods are slowing down
