DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Climate change and urban growth are intensifying natu
 ral hazard risks to infrastructure and communities. The dynamic interplay 
 between built\, natural\, and social systems and the potential amplificati
 on of impacts due to hazard interactions pose significant challenges in as
 sessing urban resilience. Current tools for assessing the performance of t
 he built environment under future multi-hazard conditions are inadequate\,
  often overlooking compounding and cascading impacts caused by hazard inte
 ractions and system interdependencies or focusing on narrow dimensions of 
 impact (physical damage and resulting financial losses). \n\nThis talk wil
 l discuss challenges and opportunities in dynamic catastrophe risk modelin
 g to support people-centered decision-making under deep uncertainty. It wi
 ll highlight recent advances\, including 1) the use of urban growth modeli
 ng to estimate the uncertain future expansion of urban areas and their exp
 osure to natural hazards\; 2) a computational framework to efficiently sim
 ulate multi-hazard event sets and asses lifecycle consequences of deterior
 ating engineering systems\, appropriately accounting for hazard interactio
 ns and their cumulative effects on the system’s performance\; 3) approac
 hes for identifying and quantifying disaster impact metrics tailored to th
 e specific context and needs of marginalized communities. \n\nThese insigh
 ts aim to aid in formulating robust mitigation strategies and policies und
 er various climate and societal development scenarios.\n\nShort Bio\n\nCar
 mine Galasso is a Professor of Catastrophe Risk Engineering in the Univers
 ity College London (UCL)’s Department of Civil\, Environmental & Geomati
 c Engineering (CEGE)\, UK\, and a Visiting Professor at The University of 
 British Columbia\, Vancouver\, Canada. His research focuses on catastrophe
  risk modeling and disaster risk reduction. He investigates risks to build
 ing portfolios and infrastructure exposed to multiple natural hazards\, in
 cluding earthquakes\, typhoons\, and floods\, with particular emphasis on 
 low-income countries and community assets. Carmine has authored >250 peer-
 reviewed articles\; his research (>£5M as a PI) is funded by the UK Resea
 rch Councils\, the European Commission\, the British Council\, the World B
 ank and its Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery\, and the 
 Willis Research Network\, among others. He is the Editor-in-Chief for the 
 International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction\; a Handling Editor for t
 he Journal of Earthquake Engineering and Nature Communications Engineering
 \; and one of the Founders and the Executive Editor for Operations for Sei
 smica\, a new community-driven Diamond Open Access journal publishing peer
 -reviewed research in seismology and earthquake science and engineering.
