Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems

Floods, droughts, heatwaves, oh my! We study the risk of extreme weather events and identify tools to mitigate their financial consequences.

📣 big news! 📣 CoFiRES has evolved into the new Institute for Risk Management and Insurance Innovation. It's an exciting chance to expand to new sectors and get more students involved from across campus. Stay tuned for more updates!

my final side quest is complete, now all I have left to do is my actual dissertation work 😉lots of lessons learned from this project, which was borne out of my MS thesis. Clearly @UNC_CoFiRES has given me opportunities and collaborators to study far more than hydropower!

Collab #3: a product of @theAGU's #chapmanwater. I learned more than I can express by working with this truly interdisciplinary group. Thanks to @ElizabethMacp
leading, @akkagawa for being another guiding light, and other coauthors, including @hydropsychogeo & @Neupanekaustuv

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

that’s a wrap! Had a blast seeing old friends and making new connections at #AGU23. Now it’s time for that we’ll deserved holiday break 🎄safe travels y’all!

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

alright folks -- CoFiRES is taking #AGU23! Come check out talks and posters from @yash_amonkar, Greg, Kieran, and @rosacuppari. Yash kicks us off today with a talk!

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

Let conference season begin! @madisunhaley gave a great presentation for Resilience Week on managing @CAPArizona's hydrologic financial risk, work done with @degorelick, @kleiman_rachel and @PNNLab colleagues. Check out the conference paper https://t.co/68ZJ3KnUGj

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

It’s that time of year! The CoFiRES Annual Strategic Retreat is well on its way. Guess what we’re going to talk about today?

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

That’s a wrap folks — saying goodbye to our 2023 CoFiRES grads. Zach defended his thesis on #WesternWater in the CO River Basin in June and Christina defended her thesis on the impact of demand management/interest rates/water prices for @TampaBayWater today! Congrats y’all 🥳💧

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

@GalelliStefano @Cornell @CEECornell Exciting news! Congrats!

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

Christina and Zach go to their first conference #EWRI2023 👏They don’t need the luck for their talks, but it never hurts!

🚨PUBLISHED PAPER ALERT🚨
CoFiRES alumni Hope Thompson, HB Zeff, Rachel Kleiman, along with collaboration from @fldhzd, used a novel modeling approach to determine the flood-related financial risk from Hurricane Florence to be $562M 💰🌊

@rosacuppari we think so too! ;)

CoFiRES was #inspired by @JoeBrownUNC to take a group photo break!

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

Very proud of this paper and all of the work we do with @TampaBayWater and @H2O_Programming. And we have a great thesis to look forward to with more TBW work this summer!

[MultiSector Dynamics @multi_sector]

The US #water sector relies on expensive infrastructure to serve water to 250+ million people. A recent @ASCE_EWRI paper by @degorelick, @DGold_H20 et al. explores the challenge of balancing infrastructure investment and affordability for water utilities.

[PPIC Water @PPICWater]

Nothing improves our understanding of water like a “stress test" - and it's starting to look like the San Joaquin Valley will get one this spring when the snowpack melts.

Senior fellow Jeff Mount looks at what this could mean for the valley and #CAwater. https://t.co/plWMQhPCBu

[Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems @UNC_CoFiRES]

It's always sad when a CoFiRES member graduates and leaves, but they are always on to bigger and better things! Excited to hear @degorelick's take on his first few months with @AAAS_STPF!
