Abstract

When an extreme heat wave, torrential downpour, or massive wildfire occurs, how do we know whether and how much of a role climate change played?

This presentation will cover the basics of climate attribution science and highlight tools and studies that aim to answer this question, particularly for extreme rainfall and marine heat events.
