In case you missed it: a "thread of threads" highlighting some of our collaborative research from 2020. How are wildfires, atmospheric rivers, floods, and other extreme events changing in a warming #climate (and in California specifically)? Read on for details: (1/8) #CAwater
A general-audience primer on the rapidly advancing science of "extreme event attribution." How do scientists approach question of whether #ClimateChange is affecting likelihood and/or severity of extreme weather events?

Our deep dive into extreme #AtmosphericRiver storms in California and how they are likely to warm & intensify considerably due to #ClimateChange. (3/8) @xingyhuang @ProfAlexHall https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1283476180931231745?s=20
An exploration of how climate models are in stronger agreement than one might expect regarding changes in California hydroclimate extremes, despite greater uncertainty in mean changes. (4/8) @ggpersad @PabloWater https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1313898148817854464?s=20
A U.S.-wide assessment of how projected increases in high-end extreme precipitation events due to #ClimateChange might affect the flood risk and population exposure. (5/8) @Climate_Done @oejwing @KrisAJohnson https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1326194686596317192?s=20
Our work, motivated by the dramatic recent escalation in California wildfire catastrophes, showing that #ClimateChange has already doubled the occurrence of extreme fire conditions during peak autumn fire season.

A new characterization of the different wind vs. moisture-dominant "flavors" of West Coast atmospheric rivers. (7/8) @k_r_gonz @atmosbarnes https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1334516752760381442?s=20
And most recently, just-published work showing that the spatial extent of streamflow drought events in the continental U.S. is increasing in a warming climate. (8/8) @ManuelaIBrunner https://twitter.com/Weather_West/status/1337801154483216386?s=20
