We are excited to announce a guest talk by Alexandra Diehl from the University of Zurich, who will present her latest research on the visualization and communication of weather forecasts. Alexandra is a senior researcher and lecturer in the Multimedia and Visualization group at UZH's Department of Computer Science. Her work focuses on efficient analysis, decision-making, and communication of high-impact weather events (HIWE) and their associated risks.

Talk Title: Visualization Research for Weather Forecast Communication and Analysis

Abstract: This talk will cover Alexandra's recent contributions to developing efficient visualization tools for analyzing and communicating weather forecasts and characterizing HIWEs. Additionally, she will discuss her current efforts in citizen data analysis and the challenges of effectively communicating severe weather events through participatory citizen science.

Speaker Bio: Alexandra Diehl holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires and has extensive experience in data visualization, visual analytics, and geographic information systems. She has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Data Visualization and Analysis Group at the University of Konstanz and currently works with Prof. Dr. Renato Pajarola's group at UZH.

We look forward to seeing many of you at this insightful talk.
