Perspectives on transformational change in climate risk management and adaptation
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 In the context of strong evidence on mounting climate-related risks and impacts across the globe, the need for ‘transformational change’ in climate risk management and adaptation responses has been brought forward as an important element to achieve the ...

The effect of community resilience and disaster risk management cycle stages on morbi-mortality following floods: an empirical assessment [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesPractice and policy have emphasized the need for building resilience to climate-related events in a further warming world. Scholarship has studied resilience largely in terms of process, latent capacity informing vulnerability, or the outcome of risk ...

Optimal heavy tail estimation – Part 1: Order selection [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2017 The tail probability, P, of the distribution of a variable is important for risk analysis of extremes. Many variables in complex geophysical systems show heavy tails, where P decreases with the value, x, of a variable as a power law with a ...
