Extreme Climate Event Database is a picture database intended to induce emotionally salient stimuli reactions in the context of natural hazards associated with global climate change and related extreme events.

The creation of the database was motivated by the need to better understand the impact that the increase in natural disasters worldwide has on human emotional reactions.

This new database consists of 150 pictures divided into three categories: two negative categories that depict images of floods and droughts, and a neutral category composed of inanimate objects.

Each image receives an abbreviation identification letter for the category that it belongs to, followed by a crescent number within the group, the respective attribution credit and creative common (CC) license.

The letter N represents neutral pictures (range: N01 to N50), FL designates the flood group (range FL01 to FL50), and DR designates drought pictures (range DR01 to DR50).

All pictures are in JPEG format; however, the resolution and dimensions could vary between pictures.

All EXCEED images are under Creative Common (CC) license, and each image is under specific license according to restrictions of modifications and use in commercial settings.

When using any image from EXCEED, one must be careful to individual license for each picture as well for the credits for the owner and EXCEED.
