[Grad-postdoc-assn] Climate risk research, LinkedIn, and more

[Valerie Sloan]

Good morning, and a belated Happy New Year!

I popped into LinkedIn yesterday, and noticed that Xiaoning Wu,  a Visiting
Graduate Researcher at NCAR in 2019, posted that:

*"I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Certified
Catastrophe Risk Analyst (CCRA) from RMS
<https://www.linkedin.com/company/rms/>!"*

That sounds interesting! She is now a climate risk researcher at Moody RMS
(Risk Management Service?) where she does mathematical modeling of tropical
cyclones to quantify their economic risks. One of RMS' sections is
called "Cyclone,
Hurricane, and Typhoon Models"
<https://www.rms.com/models/cyclone-hurricane-typhoon> which has this table
(with links) copied below:

1. Do you happen know someone in climate risk assessment, reinsurance, or
risk planning who might be another good panelist? It could be someone in
any work sector, the private, academic, industry, or non-profit sector.

2. Have you seen any other certifications in catastrophic risk analysis
that look interesting? Just curious!

3. Check out what popped up on LinkedIn when you enter 'climate risk
assessment'
<https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=climate%20risk%20assessment%20&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCH_HEADER&sid=84W>
as keywords. Scroll down for more. Rumor has it that this area of the
workforce is eager to hire people with skills like some of you have (or are
getting).

4. Searching on LinkedIn for similar terms turned up this postdoc
opportunity at CIRES, CU Boulder.

Have a good day today,
