Lecture

Catastrophe Modeling: Storms

Description

This lecture by Professor David Bresch delves into the origins and applications of natural catastrophe modeling, focusing on storms. He explains how these models quantify hazard, vulnerability, and risk, using artificial storm simulations to assess potential impacts. The lecture also explores the role of these models in risk mitigation, adaptation strategies, and decision-making processes, emphasizing the importance of open data and user-friendly interfaces. Professor Bresch discusses the need for comprehensive coverage and the potential for agent-based approaches in future model development, highlighting the evolving nature of catastrophe modeling towards higher resolution and socio-economic integration.
