Professor Elsner is a leading expert in hurricane climate studies. who is currently investigating interannual/decadal/multi-decadal hurricane variations and shifts/trends in hurricane landfall probabilities and their relationship to climate and climate change; he also issues seasonal predictions for number of hurricanes and landfall probabilities along segments of the U.S. coastline. Moreover, he is a leading authority in non-linear dynamics and chaos theory and has published a number of papers on these topics. His talk will focus on a proposed research topic, which will provide Enron with climatological instruments for use in the insurance and long-term derivative markets. The research involves a Bayesian analysis of the longest available record of hurricane activity along the U.S. coastline. Deliverables will address the hurricane threat in the United States, but the methodology can be applied elsewhere. The techniques also can be applied to climate extremes including precipitation and temperature. The talk is scheduled for 9 a.m. and the room assignment will be announced. All are cordially invited to attend. Best regards, Todd Kimberlain
