Hazard modeling has progressed considerably over the past several decades, and we can make strong predictions of roughly how often to expect disasters from coast to coast.

More than 50 percent of all weather-related economic losses on the globe are caused by damages due to tropical cyclones.

Climate disasters like heat-waves or droughts enhance the risk of armed conflicts in countries with high ethnic diversity

Flood-related losses can be expected to increase considerably in Germany as a result of climate change, a new study shows.

New analysis of cyclone data and computer climate modelling indicates that global warming is likely to intensify the destructive power of tropical storms.

Research shows that the effects of extreme heat and weather events on production of raw materials has far-reaching and costly financial implications.

Scientists have warned that the extra moisture in warmer air will mean more intense rainfall, but floods still leave governments unprepared.
