Environmental Research Letters, 13(6), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aac547

Global-scale hydrological models are routinely used to assess water scarcity, flood hazards and droughts worldwide. Recent efforts to incorporate anthropogenic activities in these models have enabled more realistic comparisons with observations. Here...

A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure (2018)
Journal Article
Thompson, D., Johnson, D., Wood, R., Darch, G., Chapman, L., Hughes, P., Watson, G. V., Paulson, K., Bell, S., Gosling, S. N., Powrie, W., & Hall, J. (2018). A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 376(2121), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2017.0298

Extreme weather causes substantial adverse socio-economic impacts by damaging and disrupting the infrastructure services that underpin modern society. Globally, $2.5tn a year is spent on infrastructure which is typically designed to last decades, ove... Read More about A systems framework for national assessment of climate risks to infrastructure.
