Week 3 Reading

Weather and climate extreme events in a changing climate

Assigned readings

As before, you are encouraged to use Zotero to manage your references (Zotero has great tools for highlighting and annotating PDFs, among other cool features. It’s also open source so your annotations aren’t locked into a proprietary system).

• Seneviratne et al. (2021):
  • Read the Executive Summary
  • Read the Introduction (section 11.1)
  • Read the Data and Methods (section 11.2)
  • Read one additional subsection (11.3, 11.4, …, or 11.8)
  • If you’re adding this to Zotero, you may find the IPCC-Bibtex project helpful.
• Prepare a two minute summary of key points from the “one additional subsection” that you read from Seneviratne et al. (2021). Be prepared to share your summary with the class.
