"Analyzing seasonal to interannual extreme weather and climate variability with the extremes toolkit (extRemes)", 18th Conference on Climate Variability and Change, 86th American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting, 29 January - 2 February, 2006, Atlanta, Georgia. P2.15.

[Example where the toolkit has been used in the Weather and Climate Community]
If you have an example where you have used extRemes on a weather and/or climate problem (conference poster, journal paper, preprint, etc.), we would love to hear about it (ericg " at" ucar "dot " edu).
