This paper describes a dasymetric technique to spatially apportion casualty counts from tornado events in the US Storm Prediction Center's database. Apportionment is a calculation of the number of casualties within the area of the tornado damage path

Hurricanes are nature's most destructive storms and they are becoming more powerful as the globe warms. Hurricane Climatology explains how to analyze and model hurricane data to better understand and predict present and future hurricane activity. It

This paper estimates regional tornado risk from records of past events using statistical models. First, a spatial model is fit to the tornado counts aggregated in counties with terms that control for changes in observational practices over time. Resu

Tornado reports are locally rare, often clustered, and of variable quality making it difficult to use them directly to describe regional tornado climatology. Here a statistical model is demonstrated that overcomes some of these difficulties and produ

Species distribution modeling aimed at forecasting the spread of invasive species under projected global warming offers land managers an important tool for assessing future ecological risk and for prioritizing management actions. The current study ap

Tornadoes are capable of catastrophic destruction and mass casualties, but there are yet no estimates of how sensitive the number of casualties are to changes in the number of people in harm's way or to changes in tornado energy. Here the relationshi

Tropical cyclones, with their nearshore high wind speeds and deep storm surges, frequently strike the United States Gulf of Mexico coastline influencing millions of people and disrupting offshore economic activities. The combined risk of occurrence o
There is an acknowledged need to combine species distribution and macro-ecological models with phylogenetic information, particularly when biogeographic research incorporates multiple species, explores phenotypic traits, or is spatially dynamic. Our

Identification and inventory of wetlands are essential components of natural resource management. To be effective in these endeavors, it is critical that the process used to detect and document wetlands be time efficient, accurate, and repeatable as
