A sharper focus on catastrophe modeling

Interdisciplinary team, including professors Paolo Bocchini (CEE) and Brian Davison (CSE), leverages probabilistic modeling experience in study of a discipline traditionally not explored in academia

Yang: Human behavior, climate risk, and the food-water-energy nexus

CEE professor works with team of researchers incorporating data on human behavior into climate-risk modeling framework to improve resilience of critical water, food, and energy systems

Can human beings and the natural environment find a way to coexist? Deteriorating U.S. infrastructure coupled with extreme weather events―and other effects of climate change―have heightened the stakes involved in achieving such harmony. While technological advances may help mitigate negative impacts, peaceful coexistence may depend on what actions humans are willing to take.
