Changing Weather Extremes: Are Humans to Blame?

On Thursday 19th February, Dr Claire Bergin (a postdoctoral researcher at the Irish Climate Analysis Research Units (ICARUS) at Maynooth University) gave the first IMS talk of 2026.

In “Changing weather extremes: are humans to blame?”, Claire spoke about the newly formed WASITUS project, which focuses on finding out if extreme weather events in Ireland have changed in likelihood and severity due to human-caused climate change.
