Climate-adjusted probability of default model: A framework for integrating physical climate risk for residential mortgage
Climate change poses significant threats to financial stability, particularly for residential mortgage portfolios exposed to physical risks like floods and wildfires. We propose an empirically grounded framework that integrates physical climate risk into probability of default (PD) modeling by applying climate multipliers—scenario-based adjustment factors derived from granular property-level hazard data. Climate multipliers amplify PD estimates, …
Applying a phenology algorithm to establish camping seasons in the United States
Camping is both an accommodation and an outdoor form of recreation that contributes over $150 billion to the United States economy annually. However, camping seasons have not previously been analyzed due to the lack of high-resolution, daily camping behavioral data. We address this gap applying a phenology algorithm to the analysis of daily camping occupancy data at 25 for-profit campgrounds. Phenology is the field of study that explores natural …
Climate change and the future of the Olympic Winter Games: Athlete and coach perspectives
The International Olympic Committee recognizes the risks climate change pose to the Games and its responsibility to lead on climate action. Winter is changing at the past Olympic Winter Games (OWG) locations and an important perspective to understand climate change risk is that of the athletes who put themselves at risk during these mega-sport events. A survey of 339 elite athletes and coaches from 20 countries was used to define fair and safe co…
Climate resources at United States National Parks: A tourism climate index approach
Nature-based tourism is beholden to weather, extreme weather, and climate change (i.e. climate resources), though researchers have yet to longitudinally explore the influence of climate resources on United States National Parks for visitation and camping. Accordingly, this study operationalises climate resources at 11 southern United States National Parks using five tourism climate indices including the Tourism Climate Index, Holiday Climate Inde…
Weather and recreational vehicle camping businesses
Camping is a salient economic contributor to nature-based tourism and among its most susceptible subsectors to weather and climate change, yet it remains understudied. Accordingly, we investigate (1) the effects weather on camping business performance and (2) the potential value camping can capture from weather. The study is operationalized using daily recreational vehicle accommodation sales (2007–2016) for two camping businesses in the Southwes…
Tourism & climate change in North America: Regional State of Knowledge
Climate change will have profound implications for North America’s tourism industry, which is one of the largest tourism markets globally with respect to international tourism arrivals (146 million) and receipts (US$246 billion). This article provides a critical overview of regional tourism and climate change research published in academic journals following the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). This article highlights the differential climat…
Tourism under climate crisis in Asia: Impacts and Implications
Study of the implications of Asian tourism for climate change is critical to fulfilling the terms of the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) and reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. Research has only recently begun to cover these topics. This paper examines climate risks, adaptation response, carbon emission, and mitigation in Asian tourism by reviewing the state-of-the-art and identifying gaps in previous research and future d…
Covid-19, camping and construal level theory
This study explores the impact of COVID-19 on travelers’ future recreational vehicle, cabin, and tent camping decisions extending the Construal Level Theory. Findings suggest that camping consideration due to COVID-19 is significantly related to understanding about time and distance of travel and dependent on pandemic scale
Camping climate resources: The camping climate index in the United States
Camping is the largest sub-sector of outdoor tourism, is growing in popularity, and is increasingly accessible to a diverse population of new campers. An outdoor accommodation and form of recreation, camping is especially susceptible to extreme weather and climate change. Though, camping research remains underrepresented in the tourism and tourism climatology literatures. Accordingly, this study quantifies seasonal camping climate resources for t…
Clogging and Water Quality Change Effects of Typical Metal Pollutants under Intermittent Managed Aquifer Recharge Using Urban Stormwater
Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) using urban stormwater facilitates relieving water supply pressure, restoring the ecological environment, and developing sustainable water resources. However, compared to conventional water sources, such as river water and lake water, MAR using urban stormwater is a typically intermittent recharge mode. In order to study the clogging and water quality change effects of Fe, Zn, and Pb, the typical mental pollutants i…
