  2. Tropical cyclone (Storm 🌪️)

    A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure area, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is called a hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic st...

    Is THIS the Climate Tipping Point of No Return?
  5. Come check out #AGU22 session on extreme events in the paleorecord! We’re talking #prehistoric #hurricanes & #floods Tuesday afternoon & all day on Wednesday! This is a session that I’m proud to have organized & I hope it will be an #AGU regular. We love #paleohazards & hope you’ll join us as we discuss the latest research in the field! #paleotempestology #paleoclimatology #paleohydrology #hazards #extremeevents #tropicalcyclones #water #geoscience
