Excited to share my latest paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com Natural Hazards! Our study shows that ~80% of flood events along U.S. East & Gulf coasts are compound, driven by multiple drivers. These events result in median property losses 26× and crop losses 76× higher than single-driver floods.

Title page of a scientific article from the journal "npj | natural hazards" with the title "Multivariate compound events drive historical floods and associated losses along the U.S. East and Gulf coasts". The article is authored by Javed Ali, Thomas Wahl, Joao Morim, Alejandra Enriquez, Melanie Gall, and Christopher T. Emrich. The abstract describes research on compound flooding events in 203 coastal counties from 1980-2018, finding that approximately 80% of flood events were compound rather than univariate, with compound events causing significantly higher property and crop losses (26 times and 76 times greater, respectively) than univariate events. The paper includes a DOI link and an open access icon.

New analysis from Climate Central found that 2024 storms’ wind speeds increased by up to 28 miles per hour, boosting their destructive power. 🔗 Full report: www.climatecentral.org/report/2024-...

A graph titled 'Climate Change Fuels Stronger Storms' showing how climate change affects peak wind speeds and storm categories of various hurricanes. The horizontal axis shows peak wind speed from 60 to 180 mph, while the vertical axis is divided into storm categories from Tropical Storm to Category 5. Each storm is represented by two hurricane symbols connected by an arrow, with the lighter symbol showing wind speed without climate change and the darker symbol showing increased wind speed with climate change. Nine named storms are shown: Oscar, Francine, Debby (all Category 1), Ernesto, Leslie, Isaac (all Category 2), Rafael (Category 3), Helene, Kirk (both Category 4), and Milton, Beryl (Category 5). The graph shows that climate change-driven ocean warming results in storms becoming stronger, often moving up to higher categories. The visualization is from Climate Central and based on NOAA data.
