Climate Risk Assessment under Uncertainty: An Application to Main European Coastal Cities
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016-12-16)
This paper analyses the risk of extreme coastal events in major European coastal cities using a stochastic diffusion model that is calibrated with the worst case emission scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ...
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)
A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ...
Stochastic diffusion models to describe the evolution of annual heatwave statistics: A three-factor model with risk calculations
(Elsevier, 2019)
In view of risk assessments this paper proposes a stochastic diffusion model to characterise statistics of extreme events when climate- or environmental variables surpass critical thresholds. The proposed three-factor model ...
Sea level damage risk with probabilistic weighting of IPCC scenarios: An application to major coastal cities
(Elsevier, 2018)
In some coastal cities there is an urgent need to decide on adaptation investments given the long periods needed to complete the relevant infrastructures. However such decisions are usually made under significant uncertainty ...
Powering newly constructed vessels to comply with ECA regulations under fuel market prices uncertainty: Diesel or dual fuel engine?
(Elsevier, 2019)
Over the last decade, marine engine engineering has evolved considerably, to the point where engine technology can be considered mature and reliable using LNG as fuel without affecting safety at sea. This paper analyses ...
Valuation of Real Options in Crude Oil Production
(MDPI, 2017-08-17)
Oil producers are going through a hard period. They have a number of real options at their disposal. This paper addresses the valuation of two of them: the option to delay investment and the option to abandon a producing ...
Valuing Expansions of the Electricity Transmission Network under Uncertainty: The Binodal Case
(MDPI, 2011-10)
Transmission investments are currently needed to meet an increasing electricity demand, to address security of supply concerns, and to reach carbon-emissions targets. A key issue when assessing the benefits from an expanded ...
A multi-resolution and multivariate analysis of the dynamic relationships between crude oil and petroleum-product prices
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper proposes the use of a novel multivariate, dynamic approach wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) (Fernández-Macho, 2018) to analyse the relationship between oil time series in the time-scale domain. This ...
