Dr. Erwann Michel-Kerjan, executive director of the Wharton Risk Center, Philadelphia, and Dr. Juliet Biggs, professor at the University of Bristol, England, , received the 2014 Lloyd’s Science of Risk Prize in London last week.
The award recognizes Michel-Kerjan’s work on Evaluating Flood Resilience Strategies for Coastal Megacities, published this year in Science, which was jointly undertaken with Jeroen Aerts, Wouter Botzen, Hans de Moel (VU University, Amsterdam), Kerry Emanuel (MIT) and Ning Lin (Princeton University).
Each year, the Lloyd’s Science of Risk prize is awarded to esteemed academics and Ph.D. candidates who, through their scientific work, further the understanding of risk and insurance. In its fifth year, the prize is offered in two broad categories: climate change and natural hazards.
