As climate change fuels increasingly destructive hurricanes and typhoons worldwide, a new book provides essential knowledge and tools for understanding, forecasting, mitigating and responding to these devastating storms across the globe.

The book, Tropical Cyclones and Associated Impacts: A Global Perspective (Elsevier) is edited by Dr. Gabriele Villarini of Princeton, co-edited by Dr. Gabriel Vecchi of Princeton and by Enrico Scoccimarro of the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, and features contributions from leaders across climate science, disaster response and the energy industry, the book provides a broad, comprehensive examination of tropical cyclones, including their history, evolution, impacts, and increasing strength due to climate change, which is expected to bring storms of ever-greater intensity over the coming decades.
