Marine extreme events and natural hazards

The DAM research mission mareXtreme aims to develop efficient observation and early warning systems. Based on high-resolution, event-based, synoptic observational data and models, it will be possible to quantify the probability and intensity of occurrence, as well as the impacts and consequences of extreme marine events and natural hazards in different scenarios. At the same time, the scientists are investigating options for adaptation, prevention, protection and risk management in a participatory process.

The research mission involves over 150 researchers and 29 institutions in a total of 4 joint projects: ElbeXtreme, MULTI-MAREX, PrimePrevention, METAscales.
