The growing severity of weather and climate extremes brings into focus the importance of using data and diverse expertise to explore their connected risks. This session aims to explore how data-driven methods can reveal hidden patterns behind destructive meteorological events—such as prolonged dry and wet spells, high-impact winds, fire outbreaks, and intense heat episodes—that often occur together or in sequence. We welcome studies that use observational records, empirical analysis, and AI-based tools to investigate real-world event chains and their effects on people, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Rather than focusing on simulation or forecasting, we emphasize grounded, data-centric insights into event triggers, compounding effects, and local-to-global consequences. Contributions that link physical processes with social or environmental outcomes are especially encouraged.
