Hurricanes in a Warming World: Understanding Climate Change Impact on Hurricane Behavior

Join a webinar featuring Dr. Pinaki Chakraborty as he presents groundbreaking research on how hurricanes are evolving in response to global warming, based on findings published in Nature. Explore the compelling evidence showing that hurricanes are maintaining their destructive power longer after landfall in warmer conditions, a discovery that has garnered widespread attention from major media outlets worldwide. Learn about the relationship between sea surface temperatures and hurricane behavior, examine case studies including Hurricane Katrina, and understand the implications of exponential decay patterns in landfalling hurricanes. Delve into hurricane simulations, investigate the phenomenon of slower decay rates, and discover the broader policy implications of these findings. Engage with comprehensive discussions on hurricane tracks, wind patterns, surface drag effects, and the connection to other extreme weather events like tornadoes. Gain valuable insights into the research methodology, funding aspects, and the scientific journey that led to these crucial discoveries about hurricane behavior in our changing climate.
