Congratulations on receiving the 2026 Hannes Alfvén Medal for your pioneering work and outstanding leadership in advancing our understanding of space plasma physics, including its fundamental processes and impacts throughout the solar system and beyond. What does this recognition mean to each of you personally, and how does it impact your ongoing work in this fascinating field? We are both very honoured to be awarded the Hanes Alfven medal, and we would like to thank everyone who supported our nomination. …
Reflections from a workshop on multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems for weather-related hazards. With mounting evidence that hazards rarely occur in isolation, the question is no longer whether multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems are needed, but how to build them [1]. Yet, moving beyond single-hazard thinking towards genuinely multi-hazard and then multi-risk perspectives is far from straightforward. It brings with it a range of challenges – from how we define and model interacting hazards and risks, to how …
