Chair:
Weather and climate impact our day-to-day lives, but have you ever wondered how they impact businesses and major corporations? Even more so in a changing climate, protecting assets and mitigating risks are important in our built environment. In this session, students learn about insurance and risk analysis, and how weather, water, and climate sciences play a factor in these industries, through an overview of the topic and three “lightning talks” from experts in the field. In addition, there is ample time for Q&A and conversation with these professionals.
