Laurence manages the Risk Advisory team in Hoboken, NJ. He works on a broad range of projects aimed at helping both public and private entities assess and manage their exposure to catastrophe risks across the globe.
Laurence has worked on several projects that have been designed to translate RMS’ catastrophe modeling results into decision-useful metrics for the public sector and corporate clients. This has included delivering actionable insight for an entity looking to develop a new windfarm installation, and advising on optimal forest management steps to protect communities in California from wildfire events.
Robert Muir-Wood is the Chief Research Officer at Moody's RMS. He works to enhance approaches to natural catastrophe modeling, identify models for new areas of risk, and explore expanded applications for catastrophe modeling. Recently, he has been focusing on identifying the potential locations and consequences of magnitude 9 earthquakes worldwide.
In 2012, as part of Mexico's presidency of the G20, he helped promote government usage of catastrophe models for managing national disaster risks. Robert has more than 20 years of experience developing probabilistic catastrophe models. He was lead author for the 2007 IPCC 4th Assessment Report and 2011 IPCC Special Report on Extremes, is a member of the Climate Risk and Insurance Working Group for the Geneva Association, and is vice-chair of the OECD panel on the Financial Consequences of Large-Scale Catastrophes.
He is the author of six books, as well as numerous papers and articles in scientific and industry publications. He holds a degree in natural sciences and a PhD in earth sciences, both from Cambridge University.
