Rejection sampling is a simple but useful Monte Carlo sampling method that has many applications in cat modeling and hazard simulation.

Typhoon Ida made landfall in Japan 60 years ago, bringing record levels of precipitation to Tokyo and nearby provinces, causing devastating mudslides and flooding.

Given advances in science and statistics, we set out to develop an explicitly space-time and environmentally driven representation of tropical cyclogenesis—the origin of a tropical cyclone.

Earlier this year The New York Times published three articles regarding the seismic hazard and safety concerns for tall buildings, particularly those in San Francisco, which stimulated discussion both in the public domain and in the engineering community.

For the second time in the last two years, hurricane precipitation in the U.S. will be exacerbated by incredibly slow movement.

Leveraging our understanding of weather and catastrophe modeling, AIR debuted a MPCI Model for the U.S. in 2008, and we have been updating it for 10 years now.
