Risk & Resilience

The Risk & Resilience Research Community seeks to find common ground and collaboration opportunities among researchers at Purdue with an interest in risk or resilience from any disciplinary perspective or background and in any application area. We want to learn how different disciplines think about these topics and facilitate matchmaking between methodologists and domain specialists, between risk assessment and risk management experts, and between scholars, practitioners and decision makers. Risk and resilience cut across many of ISF’s other research communities, so partnerships with other groups are welcome.

Key areas of research include:
• Engineering, infrastructure and built environment
• Risk perception and risk communication
• Climate change and natural hazards
• Economics and benefits analysis
• Ecological risk assessment
• Resilience theory and systems dynamics
• Actuarial sciences and insurance
