Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes presents an evidence-based view of the most important ways in which the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is affecting both our atmosphere and the oceans. The book provides compelling reasons why concerted action is required to slow the rate at which the atmosphere and oceans are changing. It not only covers longer-term changes in extremes and their causes, but also considers the drivers and attribution of extreme events, including relevant methods and techniques.
  • Provides an evidence-based understanding of a significant risk to the future performance of human and natural systems
  • Includes assessments, advice and recommendations of extreme weather and climate events
  • Features case studies from around the globe to provide further context to the research

John E. Hay is Adjunct Professor at the University of the South Pacific and Griffith University. He has more than 50 years of experience in academia, the private sector, and governmental organisations. His work has focused on bringing an interdisciplinary approach to the environmental sciences, and to technical- and policy-relevant assessments and guidance, especially regarding atmospheric and oceanic extremes, in the context of climate variability and change. John has worked as a consultant and advisor to many national governments and regional and international organisations. He is a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Al Gore, and of a prestigious fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation.
