Towards improved assessment of windstorm damage risk through Impact Model calibration Open
Winter windstorms rank as one of Europe's deadliest and most damaging natural disasters. To model the impacts of these windstorms, surface wind data can be incorporated into climate risk models to derive estimates of natural hazard-related…
Impact-based forecasting of tropical cyclone-related human displacement to support anticipatory action Open
Tropical cyclones (TCs) displace millions every year. While TCs pose hardships and threaten lives, their negative impacts can be reduced by anticipatory actions like evacuation and humanitarian aid coordination. In addition to weather fore…
A Module for Calibrating Impact Functions in theClimate Risk Modeling Platform CLIMADA Open
Impact functions model the vulnerability of people and assets exposed to weather and climate hazards.Given probabilistic hazard event sets or weather forecasts, they enable the computation of associated risks or impacts, respectively.Becau…
Fluvial flood inundation and socio-economic impact model based on open data Open
Fluvial floods are destructive hazards that affect millions of people worldwide each year. Forecasting flood events and their potential impacts therefore is crucial for disaster preparation and mitigation. Modeling flood inundation based o…
A framework for triggering forecast-based action and financing using impact-based forecasts of extreme weather events Open
Extreme weather events affect millions of lives each year. The impacts include displaced and injured population, casualties, as well as interruptions of access to public services and critical infrastructure. Humanitarian organizations supp…

Weather4UN – Supporting humanitarian decision-making with impact estimates Open
Most disasters triggered by natural hazards and leading to humanitarian crises are caused by extreme weather- and climate-related events. Between 1970 and 2019, there were more than 11’000 disasters attributed to weather, climate and…
Lithium Niobate for Fast Cycling in Li-ion Batteries: Review and New Experimental Results Open
Li-Nb-O-based insertion layers between electrodes and electrolytes of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are known to protect the electrodes and electrolytes from unwanted reactions and to enhance Li transport across interfaces. An improved operation…
Globally consistent, open-source river flood impact model using open data Open
River floods are amongst the most devastating natural hazards. Reliable information on impeding hydrometeorological events enables humanitarian agencies to take action and to support the efforts of authorities and affected residents. Forec…
Comment on egusphere-2022-1393 Open
Abstract. Using mathematical modelling and computer simulations, economic damages and life loss estimates are results that, when prospectively designed based on the comparison of different flood alert scenarios that can be implemented, pro…
