Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Development of a Tsunami Inundation Map in Detecting Tsunami Risk in Gulf of Fethiye, Turkey

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2014
NAMIDANCE tsunami simulation and visualization tool is used to create tsunami inundation maps showing quantitative maximum tsunami flow depths in Fethiye. The risk of an extreme, but likely earthquake-generated tsunami is estimated at Fethiye Bay for 14 probabilistic earthquake scenarios.

Near-field tsunami inundation forecast method assimilating ocean bottom pressure data: A synthetic test for the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2018
An approach for forecasting near-field tsunami inundation was developed by combining two methods. The first method computes tsunami by assimilating pressure data observed at numerous ocean bottom sensors without tsunami source information, and the second

Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...
