Most scientific research on the influence of climate change on hurricane activity has focused on the relationship between warm Atlantic Ocean conditions and tropical activity in the basin, but how is climate change going to affect the risk of U.S. hurricane landfalls?

In this post, we'll discuss how to interpret combined ratios, walk through the steps for calculating them, and then touch on some related metrics.

At the end of May several researchers at AIR attended the 13th America’s Conference on Wind Engineering (ACWE) hosted by the University of Florida. This conference is held once every four years and brings together top researchers in the field of wind engineering in the Americas.

In statistics, bootstrapping is any test or metric that relies on random sampling with replacement. It is a computer-intensive resampling technique that involves a relatively simple procedure repeated many times.

Whether you want to model bushfires on a few acres or on large swaths of territories across the entire continent of Australia, you first need to model what those bushfires burn: the "fuel" on the ground.

Another U.S. hurricane season is just starting up, so it's a good time to take a look at how demand surge could impact losses this year.
