| PI Contribution | The EMERGE project is formed by a new partnership between the University of Strathclyde, the Icelandic Meteorological Office , the Norwegian Water Resources ad Energy Directorate, the British Geological Survey , Newcastle University and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). the project brings together experts to explore weather- driven hazards - primarily extreme rainfall, landslides and floods - and their emergent and compounding risks across Northern Europe's remote and vulnerable regions. EMERGE has a focus of the UK, Norway and Iceland, aimed at bringing together researchers that work in similar climatic zones to foster collaboration and create novel, cutting- edge science that is beneficial to the UK and its near neighbours. |

| Results and Impact | The EMERGE project is hosting a series of workshop to bring together researchers and operational stakeholders to understand the critical research questions relating to multi-hazards in Northern Europe's remote regions. The workshops - through presentations and breakout discussions - are a series of workshops being hosted in the EMERGE project's collaborative countries (Norway, Scotland and Iceland), focusing on open scientific collaboration, knowledge brokering, information sharing, and the identification of needs and opportunities. The first workshop on 09 February 2022, held virtually due to COVID-19 (approx. 50 participants), focused on the emergence and compounding risks of weather-driven natural hazards in remote regions and the key science, observation, prediction and monitoring gaps. The workshop helped guide EMERGE's further activities. The second workshop, held in person at NVE in Oslo in Norway on 05-06 May 2022 (approx. 30 attendees), explored (1) the unique challenges posed by the emergence and compounding risks of weather-driven natural hazards in Norway; and (2) the key science, observation, prediction and monitoring gaps. The workshop included a 'living lab' visit to sites around Oslo, as well as other dissemination activities. The focus of the third EMERGE Glasgow workshop, held in person on 08 March 2023 at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (approx. 25 attendees), was (1) an overview of the collated learning from the EMERGE project so far establishing how remote community resilience varies between the project countries; (2) identifying what policy and science developments are in place surrounding the emergence and compounding risks of weather-driven natural hazards in remote regions; and (3) understanding how warnings and responses vary based on the underlying themes and available data. The fourth workshop was held in Reykjavík, Iceland 8-11th May 2023 learning from the Civil Protection Agency and Icelandic Met Office discussing the challenge of issuing timely and meaningful warnings to the public about natural hazards, including the needs of the tourism sector, and the close working relationships between government monitoring agencies, first-responders, and educational institutes. |

| Results and Impact | RÚV English looks at a hazards and climate conference, hosted at the Icelandic Met Office last month. Today, RÚV English looks at a hazards and climate conference, hosted at the Icelandic Met Office last month. The EMERGE project was created to look at the regional and remote aspects of a changing climate from the perspective of natural hazards, in a variety of northern countries, including Iceland. Darren spoke to a number of participants in the conference - project team interviewed include Dr. Chris White, from the University of Strathclyde, Head of the Center for Water, Environment, Sustainability and Public Health at the University Matthew Roberts, Managing Director of Service and Research at the Icelandic Met Office Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Iceland Michael Cranston, lead forecaster for flood hazards in Scotland Hayley Fowler, Professor of Climate Change Impacts at Newcastle University |
