The researcher will explore the spatial and temporal variations of societal vulnerabilities to climate extremes at the global scale. For this purpose, the researcher will develop novel methodologies by integrating climate datasets, Earth observations, and geospatial socioeconomic statistics within an artificial intelligence framework. This combination will provide an enhanced understanding of vulnerability dynamics and underlying mechanisms in response to global changes. Outcomes of the research will contribute to identifying hotspot areas highly vulnerable to climate extremes and defining effective adaptation strategies, ultimately fostering the transition to a climate-resilient development. The work will be conducted within the Horizon SPARCCLE project in a young and multi-disciplinary team with a wide network of international collaborations.
