  • terrestrial and/or marine heatwaves – past and future changes
  • physical mechanisms behind extreme heat events
  • physical model simulation of heatwaves and other climate extremes at various spatial scales
  • the role of internal variability behind climate extremes
  • impacts of extreme heat events
  • concurrent/compound extremes (e.g heat and wildfires/heat and drought)
  • machine learning in understanding climate extremes
  • other topics relating to climate extremes
