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 we propose is one small piece of ESG. Greater transparency and comparability in physical risk disclosures would provide investors (individuals and institutions) with a benefit. So that should be appealing as a policy, regardless of the broader ESG debate.

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 🙏!

I'd definitely support including extreme events across a range of hazards, including compound events. You could also report on impacts, such as displacement, health effects, and ecosystems affected. Or flip the script with good news, highlighting resilience, recovery, and adaptation efforts.
