Description
Introduction to Catastrophe Risk Modelling A Physics-based Approach by Arnaud Mignan is a comprehensive textbook that explores the physics of catastrophe processes and their impact on society. Covering a wide range of perils, including natural and man-made hazards, this innovative text provides a fundamental understanding of catastrophe phenomenology and risk quantification. The book combines basic statistics, applied physics, and natural sciences to address the latest developments in catastrophe modelling. It offers a broad spectrum of topics, from geophysical to socio-economic risks, and provides the necessary tools to develop a CAT model from hazard to loss assessment. The text is accompanied by online resources, including a CAT risk model starter-kit and a Python Jupyter tutorial. With its focus on fundamental concepts and fully reproducible processes, this textbook is ideal for advanced students seeking to solidify their knowledge of catastrophe risk modelling.
