📄 New paper out in @ScienceMagazine's Advances #TropicalCyclones undergoing rapid intensification during #MarineHeatwaves lead to ~60% more billion-dollar disasters—even after accounting for coastal exposure. More insights in the paper 👇 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

NEW – Marine heatwaves ‘nearly double’ the economic damage caused by tropical cyclones ✍️ @GAViglione 💬 With comments from: Dr Hamed Moftakhari, @SoheilRadfar, Dr Daneeja Mawren and Dr Jonathan Lin Read here: buff.ly/B816Y47

📄 New paper out in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) #Hybrid models are widely used in #compound #flood modeling, yet no standard framework exists to classify them. We introduce a typology with a decision framework to guide model selection. 🔗 doi.org/10.5194/hess-3…

@KinarNicholas @EhsanForoumandi @HamidMoradkhani Thanks much for highlighting our work!

Thrilled to announce my participation at #AGU24 in DC next week! Presenting & chairing sessions on coastal hydrology. Working on or interested in #CompoundHazards, #Risk & #Resilience, or #AI/#ML in coastal modeling? Let's connect! Open to discussions & collaborations.

Understanding #correlation and #dependence: more than just synonyms Read more in my latest blog post: radfar.wixsite.com/soheil/post/un…

Can geometric visualization improve how we communicate #compound flood hazard in the #nonstationary environment? Check out our new survey-based analysis, which is now open for discussion. w/ Georgios Boumis @HamedMoftakhari @WanyunShao and others. gc.copernicus.org/preprints/gc-2…

Discussed the role of #warming oceans in Hurricane Milton's explosive #intensification w/ @BBCNews. Our research w/ @HamedMoftakhari & @HamidMoradkhani on marine heatwaves and rapid intensification is sparking crucial climate discussions. Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=Y7sL4C…

I'll speak w/ @BBCNews this Saturday at 11:15 PM (CDT) about Hurricane #Milton and the connection between warming climate and extreme weather events. We will discuss how warming ocean temperatures affect rapid #intensification and #strength of hurricanes. twtr.to/BWDQV

Contributed to @washingtonpost story on #Hurricane_Milton with other experts. Discussed marine heatwaves' role in supercharging #Helene & #Milton with @KashaPatel. Our @CommsEarth paper w/ @HamedMoftakhari & @HamidMoradkhani featured. Full story: twtr.to/Ag6Kk

Interviewed today by @AustynGaffney of @nytimes on #Hurricane_Milton, its rapid intensification, and warm ocean impacts. Our @CommsEarth paper (w/ @HamedMoftakhari & @HamidMoradkhani) featured. Full story: nytimes.com/2024/10/08/cli… #marine_heatwave #rapid_intensification

@AGU_Eos Thank you for the interview and for featuring our work.

#Helene and many other major hurricanes have undergone rapid intensification. Warmer waters may make that more likely. eos.org/articles/marin…

Excited to share my recent interview with @AGU_Eos on our research w/ @HamedMoftakhari & @HamidMoradkhani into #marine_heatwaves and their impact on supercharging tropical cyclones. Also, a brief note on #Helene: Read more about it here: eos.org/articles/marin…

@MuddyLobster Congratulations @MuddyLobster! 🎉

It's been a wildly fun and humbling week. Thankful for incredible mentors who continue to support me and celebrate with me!

Confirmed ✅ 35 mph wind speed increase in 18.5 hrs for #Helene. Expecting strong winds, heavy rain & high storm surge. Stay safe! RI started where our study showed 2x RI likelihood during marine heatwaves. Matches 73-yr analysis pattern.

TS #Helene forecast to rapidly intensify to Cat 3 hurricane. Path coincides with moderate to strong marine heatwaves. Our recent study shows an increased likelihood of rapid intensification during such conditions. doi.org/10.1038/s43247… w/ @HamedMoftakhari & @HamidMoradkhani

Honored to share that I have been elected as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of my past and present mentees and collaborators, whose contributions have been crucial in achieving this milestone. Excited to celebrate this achievement with the AGU community at the upcoming Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C., December 9-13, 2024. Grateful for your ongoing support. @theAGU @Hydrology_AGU agu.org/honors/announc…

@HamidMoradkhani Congratulations, Dr. Moradkhani, very well-deserved!
