Abstract
Abstract
This chapter describes new methods and datasets, developed through UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) projects, to better understand climate hazards.
We describe projections of hazards using new tools and provide examples of applications for decision-making.
Going forward, this new physical and statistical understanding should be incorporated into climate risk assessments.
