Reask Appoints New Climate Science Advisor

Reask, a climate analytics and technology-driven risk modeling company, has appointed Dr. Daniel Swain as Climate Science Advisor.

According to the announcement, Reask’s new advisors will academically oversee existing technologies and advise on the development of new convective storm, drought and wildfire models.

Swain currently holds co-appointments at UCLA’s Institute for Environment and Sustainability, the Center for Climate and Weather Extreme Capacity at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, and the Nature Conservancy. He is also a climate advisor for Climate Check and previously he was a weather advisor for Bloomsky.

Commenting on his appointment, Daniel said: Data that already existed.

“In contrast, the Reask team is doing something unusual in the field, using cutting-edge approaches that are deeply rooted in the underlying physical sciences. optimistic that the solutions pioneered by Reask will move the needle towards much-needed improved natural disaster forecasting in an era of increasing global climate extremes. doing. ”

Reask says it is on a mission to become the world’s leading provider of next-generation Nat Cat modeling. It currently provides global tropical cyclone models to market-leading clients such as Swiss Re, AXA, parametric insurer Descartes, ILS firm Securis, and Twelve Capital.

Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Thomas Loridan said: Limitations of current academic understanding of these phenomena.

“As a climate scientist with a background in both atmospheric and earth system sciences, Daniel holds us to the highest academic standards so that we can provide the industry with transparent, scientifically rigor-based modeling solutions. His capabilities for a wide range of extreme events will be an important step in ensuring that Reask expands its approach to all global atmospheric crises.”
