PhD Student Alex Saunders has a new publication out in Earth’s Future (an AGU journal) entitled “Sensitivity to Data Choice for Index-Based Flood Insurance.” Alex’s work brings together multiple approaches and lines of evidence to show that the choice of climate variable and dataset has meaningful, significant, and real-world implications for index insurance. This is critical information for practitioners and policymakers using index insurance to reduce vulnerability to climate variability, climate change, and extreme events. Coauthors include Beth Tellman (formerly of UA SGDE), Jonathan Giezendanner (former UA postdoc, now at MIT), and Andrew Bennett from UA Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025EF005966
