The objective of this latest research paper on #JCRR is to understand the impact on insured losses of changes in the frequency-severity distribution of landfalling #hurricanes.
For the research, authors Ruth Petrie, Dongwon Han, Ludovico Nicotina, Adam Alvarez, and Tyler Cox, Inigo, present a frequency-aware quantile mapping (FAQM) approach for adjusting #hurricane wind speeds and losses in catastrophe models: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-02-petrie-et-al/
Publication update: We are delighted to say that we have two more research articles in the final stages of the peer-review process; make sure to keep an eye on the #JCRR social media accounts for the next set of publication date announcements!

As explored by Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, Weatherlogics Inc, in this free-to-read paper, a majority of the variation in the hail-thunderstorm ratio can be explained by elevation.

In December 2025, we published a paper by authors Jesse Gourevitch Environmental Defense Fund, Max Snyder University of California, and Carolyn Kousky Environmental Defense Fund, which explored the effects of risk-based pricing reform on flood insurance uptake - https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-07-gourevitch-et-al/

The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience is #DiamondOpenAccess. We don't charge submission fees, and we do not charge for readers to access our content either - but that doesn't make our peer-review process any less robust.
Our chosen reviewers are experts; our editorial board is a team of specialists in their associated fields. They volunteer their time because the key to addressing #climate challenges is through the open exchange of knowledge and ideas: https://journalofcrr.com/research/
“Not all climate risk products are created equal.”
#ClimateChange is increasing the risk of atmospheric perils - which in turn is causing broader uptake of #CatastropheModels.
But as the authors of this recently published #JCRR research paper reveals, the range of loss estimates from the state level to the asset level varies: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-01-dusseau-et-al/
“Publication of model validation analyses is vital as [catastrophe] models have a large influence on society through the insurance, financial, and real estate systems... Not only is validating these models crucial to ensure risk is not over or underpriced, but these financial signals motivate market behaviour that determine risk exposure.”
