abstract = {‘Extreme event’, a term today most commonly understood
and used in relation to extreme weather phenomena and
experiencing an upsurge in its usage due to their increased
frequency caused by climate change, is applied in a variety
of scientific disciplines. Its multitude of users
understands and defines the term differently. However,
consistency in language is vital to eradicate confusion,
support the transfer of knowledge from one field to another,
and make results from different disciplines comparable.
Therefore, this work gives an in-depth discussion of the
various aspects of relevance, ultimately proposing a
comprehensive, systems-based definition of the term.Novel to
this definition is the complex systems approach, utilized
throughout to allow the definition to be applied for both
macrolevel and microlevel occurrences and across various
disciplines. In contrast to most authors who separate
incident and impacts and use either the former or the latter
in definitions of extreme events, it is shown that a
disruption to a system or systems is prerequisite. Only by
applying this perspective can interdisciplinary research be
successfully conducted on extreme events. This and other
central aspects come particularly to light in a case study
of the 2006 European Blackout, on which the meta-definition
is tried.},
