Understanding and Addressing the Disruptive Impacts of Contemporary Climate Crises

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary climate crises, such as wildfires, droughts, floods, and tropical storms, are increasing in frequency, intensity, scale, and duration. Organization and management scholars have been calling for more systematic study of the impacts of this increasing complexity on extant crisis governance arrangements and capacities for ...

When indemnity insurance fails: Parametric coverage under binding budget and risk constraints

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In high‐risk environments, traditional indemnity insurance is often unaffordable or ineffective, despite its well‐known optimality under expected utility. We compare excess‐of‐loss indemnity insurance with parametric insurance within a common mean‐variance framework, allowing for fixed costs, heterogeneous premium loadings, and binding budget ...

How Do Climatic Factors Directly Influence the Incidence and Risk of Meningococcal Meningitis Across the African Meningitis Belt? A Narrative Literature Review. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract Globally, the highest incidence of meningococcal meningitis occurs within the African meningitis belt, spanning 26 countries across sub‐Saharan Africa. Meningococcal meningitis incidence is highly seasonal in this region specifically, with outbreaks mostly occurring during the dry season, characterized by low rainfall and atmospheric humidity,

Downscaling of Tropical Cyclone Surface Wind Fields With a Hybrid Attention Transformer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract This study employs a Hybrid Attention Transformer‐based super‐resolution model to reconstruct tropical cyclone (TC) surface wind fields. The model downscales coarse‐resolution ERA5 reanalysis data to high‐resolution HWind analyses (1998–2013), increasing the horizontal resolution by a factor of five.
