Hurricane Risk in a Changing Climate
Three concrete strategies for meaningfully incorporating climate change into insurance hurricane risk management:
- Test model sensitivity to inputs in the built environment
- Divide hurricane risk by subperil and tailor risk management to variable levels of uncertainty
- Translate impacts to metrics that drive decision-making

The frequency and duration of US hurricane droughts
TM Hall and KA Hereid
2015
We estimate the mean wait time for the 2006-2014 US major hurricane landfall drought to be greater than 175 years, and find that this wait time is not dependent on drought duration.
Coral record of reduced El Niño activity in the early 15th to middle 17th centuries

2013
Coral record of a century-scale period of low El Niño activity during the Little Ice Age. A switch between active and inactive El Niño states of this duration has not previously been recorded, and provides a new baseline for climate models and reconstructions.
Assessing spatial variability in El Niño–Southern Oscillation event detection skill using coral geochemistry
KA Hereid, TM Quinn, YM Okumura
2013
Paleoclimate proxies do not always record El Niño and La Niña with equal skill due to the varying spatial structure of each event type. Coral records in the central Pacific have a balanced response toward ENSO events, but the Western Pacific Warm Pool favors El Niño expression, and the South Pacific Convergence Zone preferentially records La Niña events.
