Landmarks in the History of Natural Catastrophe Modeling

Historical data is a useful but only partial tool in forecasting and preventing future natural catastrophes. This exhibit, originally created by Dr. Gonzalo Pita and the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University, and expanded upon by the NIST Museum, highlights landmark publications defining milestones and progress in the field of natural catastrophe modeling. Included in this expanded exhibit is NIST’s role in natural disaster studies.
