About the workshop

Climate change is driving more frequent and severe hydroclimatic events that overlap with and exacerbate existing hazards. This workshop aims to engage multi-disciplinary researchers and practitioners in conversation about the future of interconnected hazards research. Special attention will be placed on the overlap of hydroclimatic change and earthquake hazard through the lens of the recent, unprecedented Cyclone Gabrielle, which caused ~NZ$8 billion in damage across Hawke’s Bay, Aotearoa New Zealand – a region with the largest seismic hazard in the country.

​

This will be a hybrid workshop, with in-person attendance encouraged for New Zealand participants.
