Dr Katharine Vincent is joining Drs Marta Bruno Soares and Chris Funk and Professors Emma Archer and Andy Dougill in editing a forthcoming special issue of Frontiers in Climate on Extreme Events in the Developing World. The special issue aims to collate case studies of extreme events in developing countries, with a clear emphasis on what may be learned from prediction, early warning, risk reduction and mitigation, preparedness, and response – particularly given future increases in occurrence of such events. Abstracts are due by 30 January 2020 with full papers to be submitted by 29 May 2020 on the Frontiers Research Topic page. Early career researchers and authors from developing countries are particularly encouraged to make submissions.
