Synthetic TC models are powerful - but may be hard to use outside climate science. We release global coastal wind hazard maps from CHAZ, translating TC tracks into exceedance intensities and return periods. Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Data: datadryad.org/dataset/doi:...

New paper out! 🌍 We developed a natural hazard risk modeling approach to human displacement. 4 teams, 2 frameworks (CLIMADA, CIMA), 1 goal: better understanding displacement risk across multiple hazards and climate scenarios. Big thanks to amazing collaborators! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

What if companies disclosed climate risk the same way insurers analyze it: with event-based probabilistic models that show what could happen, when, and with what likelihood? Check out our new paper in Environmental Research: Climate to learn more! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

This study is based on a great collaboration of our #TISP consortium and @simonameiler.bsky.social, Chahan Kropf, @samluethi.bsky.social and David N. Bresch (@ethz.ch). @colognaviktoria.bsky.social and I joined forces with them to combine our worldwide survey data with their climate modelling data 🤝

Future TC risk is uncertain — but here’s the twist: what drives that uncertainty changes with your risk model setup. We unpacked that. Full paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @adamsobel.bsky.social @scamargo.bsky.social @nblmndl.bsky.social and other wonderful co-authors 🙏!

Did you know that neural networks predict observations better than they predict the climate models they were trained on? Cool paper by my office mate @emilygordynz.bsky.social!

Impressed by GenCast, the ML-based weather forecasting model www.nature.com/articles/s41... Curious @deep-mind.bsky.social Since it penalizes deviations from the truth, could a complementary risk-optimized model improve its ability to capture uncertainty and better represent extreme events?
