Upcoming Events

We are super excited to host our subreddit's first Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on July 16th from 3-7pm Eastern Time (EDT). Join us to ask your burning questions about how heat impacts health, what strategies you can use to stay cool, how you can support your community during extreme heat events, and much more. We'll have 3 experts (maybe 4) to share the latest research and nerd out with you on all things extreme heat.

The BeBrit project will culminate with a one-day Extreme Heat Knowledge Exchange and Innovation Event. The aim of the event is to share knowledge, practical innovations and experiences, developments in research and think together about future planning and preparedness for extreme heat.

The objective of the 18th edition is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussions on our current state of knowledge of Mediterranean risks in a climate change context. Different aspects related to monitoring, assessment, diagnosis, prediction, and definition of weather extremes, wildfires, hydro-geological effects, impacts on natural resources, agriculture, health and society, as well as adaptation capacity and preservation strategies for natural and cultural heritage at risk, will be addressed with a multi-sectorial approach. This will be achieved by bringing together scientific experts in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, wildfires, geomorphology, sociology, engineering, cultural heritage conservation, and governmental or private risk management actors.
