Tropical Cyclone Modeling
Lead: Christine Blackshaw
Counselors: Ning Lin, Michael Oppenheimer
This research project, led by Christine Blackshaw, focuses on supporting hazard and risk analysis related to tropical cyclones (TCs) for the MACH region. By generating a large database of historical and future TCs, the project aims to investigate how TCs and their hazards (wind, surge, rain) may change by the end of the century under different climate scenarios. Efforts also focus on developing robust methods to account for uncertainty and bias in TC modeling. Analysis is also extended to evaluate compound hurricane and heatwave events and hazards.
