A portfolio of weather risk transfer contracts efficiently reduces risk
Climate Risk Management, 2021 We quantify the potential reduction of risk in practice that is possible by constructing a portfolio of contracts covering weather risks, relative to a portfolio of lower-frequency natural catastrophe risks.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Ionic epoxy networks are prepared using ammonium salts as hardeners, leading to a two‐stage curing process with a thermoplastic‐like intermediate. This uncommon behavior enables extrusion and fabrication of thermoplastic prepregs that can be cured into thermoset composites.

Weather and climate monitoring for food risk management [PDF]
Meteorological Applications, 2006 AbstractFood insecurity represents one of the main indicators of the poverty level of a country and can breed a strong dependence on foreign aid with a strong slowdown of the national economy. African arid and semi‐arid areas are characterised by food precariousness and their agricultural activity is strongly dependent on the extreme climatic ...
