Miguel Lagos speaks at a workshop on precipitation extremes
He presented his research on extreme convective events in the subtropical Andes at a workshop organized by Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI).
Professor Miguel Lagos Zúñiga took part in the workshop "Water Vapor and Precipitation Extremes in the Context of Global Warming," held on Friday, March 13, 2026.
He gave the talk "Meteorological assessment of a mountainous convective precipitation event triggering debris flows in the subtropical Andes."
The meeting brought together researchers who study atmospheric water vapor and extreme precipitation in the context of climate change, and addressed how to understand and manage hydrometeorological risk.
Other participants included Cristián Martínez-Villalobos (UAI), Dipjyoti Mudiar (UAI), Roberto Rondanelli (Universidad de Chile), Raúl Valenzuela (Universidad de O'Higgins) and Yi-Xian Li (Monash University).
