Abstract Submission

Please note that each attendee may only submit and/or present ONE abstract.

Many abstracts will be considered for a poster session where there will be an opportunity for much discussion. A handful may be selected for an oral talk along with the invited speakers if space allows in the program.

Regular submission due November 14th, 2023

Only abstracts that focus on tropical cyclone risk, including aspects of hazard, exposure, vulnerability, impacts and/or resilience will be considered for acceptance. Risk is the likelihood of consequence from a hazard. For the purposes of this symposium, the hazards being considered are tropical cyclones (TCs). Other elements of TC risk to be discussed include:

Exposure of lives/properties/livelihoods/environments to tropical cyclones;
Their vulnerabilities to damage, injury/death, disruption;
Economic/environmental/financial/social impacts;
The building of resilience against TC risk.
