Hydroclimatology is an expansive discipline largely concerned with understanding the workings of the hydrological cycle in a climate context. Acknowledging this, and given the burgeoning interest in the relation between climate and water in the conte...

Understanding temperature extremes in a DRM context involves getting to know how often temperature extremes occur, the conditions under which they occur and establishing associated direct and indirect societal impacts. Knowledge about temperature ext... Read More about Meteorological risk: extreme temperatures.

Analysis of the synoptic winter mortality climatology in five regions of England: Searching for evidence of weather signals (2017)
Journal Article
Paschalidou, A., Kassomenos, P., & McGregor, G. (2017). Analysis of the synoptic winter mortality climatology in five regions of England: Searching for evidence of weather signals. Science of the Total Environment, 598, 432-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.03.276

Although heat-related mortality has received considerable research attention, the impact of cold weather on public health is less well-developed, probably due to the fact that physiological responses to cold weather can vary substantially among indiv...
