]]>RiskMarketNewsIn the second annual RiskMarketNews Hurricane Roundtable the three largest catastrophe modeling firms discuss the upcoming season, the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the structure of near term hurricane models. In the conversation are: Mr. David F. Smith, Senior VP, Model Development Group, EQECAT, Inc. David F. Smith is Senior Vice President of Model Development in the Technology group of EQECAT, Inc. Mr. Smith has 15 years of professional experience in catastrophe modeling, software development, and project management, and he holds a MS in Geophysics from Yale University and a BS in Mathematics from the University of Chicago. Peter S. Dailey, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President and Director of Atmospheric Science, AIR Worldwide. Dr. Dailey is responsible for the management and direction of the AIR Worldwide climate and weather research teams. His specialty is the numerical modeling of the environment.Prior to joining AIR, Dr. Dailey was principal meteorologist at Litton-TASC (now Northrop Grumman). Dr. Dailey received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in meteorology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Robert Muir-Wood is chief research officer at RMS. Dr. Muir-Wood has more than 20 years of experience developing probabilistic catastrophe models and has collaborated with the insurance industry over the past 15 years to improve catastrophe analysis accuracy. Dr. Muir-Wood received his degrees and was an Earth Sciences Research Fellow at Cambridge University. cwestfall@riskmarketnews.comNone2010-04-26T01:18:38-04:00http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/AccuWeathers_Joe_Bastardi.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/AccuWeathers_Joe_Bastardi.html#unique-entry-id-10A discussion with the popular metorologist about his predictions for the 2010 hurricane season.]]>cwestfall@riskmarketnews.comNone2009-12-21T09:10:59-05:00http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/Learning_from_Catastrophes.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/Learning_from_Catastrophes.html#unique-entry-id-9An interview with Howard Kunreuther, co-editor of the new book Learning from Catastrophes: Strategies for Reaction and Response.]]>RiskMarketNewsAn interview with Howard Kunreuther, co-editor of the new book Learning from Catastrophes: Strategies for Reaction and Response.cwestfall@riskmarketnews.comNone2009-09-08T07:33:36-04:00http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/0a7ee93e8da7bcc63528d21ef28da926-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://www.riskmarketnews.com/podcast/files/0a7ee93e8da7bcc63528d21ef28da926-8.html#unique-entry-id-8An interview with Professor David Petley of Durham University in the UK regarding the science and insurability of catastrophic landslides.
