Neglecting Uncertainties Biases House-Elevation Decisions to Manage Riverine Flood Risks

1 code implementation17 Jan 2020 Mahkameh Zarekarizi, Vivek Srikrishnan, Klaus Keller

The U. S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends elevating existing houses to the Base Flood Elevation (the elevation of the 100-yr flood) plus a freeboard.

Probabilistic Projections of Baseline 21st Century CO$_2$ Emissions Using a Simple Calibrated Integrated Assessment Model

1 code implementation6 Aug 2019 Vivek Srikrishnan, Yawen Guan, Richard S. J. Tol, Klaus Keller

Our global sensitivity analysis identifies several key economic drivers of uncertainty in future emissions and shows important higher-level interactions between economic and technological parameters, while population uncertainties are less important.

Characterizing the deep uncertainties surrounding coastal flood hazard projections: A case study for Norfolk, VA

1 code implementation11 Dec 2018 Kelsey L. Ruckert, Vivek Srikrishnan, Klaus Keller

These results highlight key avenues to improve the usefulness of hazard projections to inform decision-making such as (i) representing complex ice sheet behavior, (ii) covering decision relevant timescales beyond this century, (iii) resolving storm surges with a low chance of occurring (e. g., a 0. 2% chance per year), (iv) considering that storm surge projections may deviate from the historical record, and (v) communicating the considerable deep uncertainty.
