WG for Weather and Climate Extremes
Overview
To answer the question “Will mild climate and abundant water/fisheries resources persist as a basis of survival for those of us living in Japan in the future?”, we are studying weather and climate extremes from various perspectives in the Habitable Japan project. Sharing information about studies within and outside the project and facilitating collaboration is important to effectively advance research. This working group works to promote collaborative research on weather and climate extremes. Specifically, we maintain information sharing tools and plan seminars and other activities that facilitate the exchange of research information and discussion.
