About

Yolanda’s current research seeks to develop a framework to identify extreme, unexpected “black swan” events (events that are difficult to predict but with disastrous consequences) in Southeast Asia, specifically for earthquake, flooding, and volcano ash hazards. She is also incorporating the use of downward counterfactual analysis in order to explore how a single past event can expand into a library of more catastrophic realizations of the same event.
