Resumen:

This introduction presents an overview of the concepts discussed in the various chapters of this book. Taking into account the characteristics of geophysical extreme events, this book focuses on the aspects that are related to their observation and their modeling, as well as to estimating their socioeconomic impacts. Most chapters deal with novel methodologies and their applications for the study of extreme events and their impacts. They use a variety of mathematical, numerical, and statistical techniques to expand the understanding of extreme geophysical and climatic events, as well as the risks they impose on society. The physical and economic comprehension of these risks, as well as the current techniques to cope with them, has improved recently to a considerable extent. Recent advancements create a lot of opportunities and challenges for the researcher in and practitioner of extremology, the science of extreme events, and their consequences. © 2016 by the American Geophysical Union.
