Landmarks in the History of Natural Catastrophe Modeling

Library_Exhibit Presentation2.png

Crucial decisions depend on the outputs of Catastrophe Models, but the outputs themselves depend on assumptions, data, and theories which constitute the Catastrophe Model.

Please join Gonzalo for a lecture at Johns Hopkins’ library on October 21, at 4pm.
