The Willis Research Network: two decades of creative private-public partnerships on the science of geophysical risks

Earth hazards pose a constant threat to business operations worldwide, the management of those risks is a core specialty of WTW, a global advisory company headquartered in London. WTW helps the finance industry, corporates and governments successfully navigate the whole-economy transition to a net-zero and climate-resilient future.

For 20 years, WTW has advanced the study of geophysical risks through a series of innovative partnerships between our Willis Research Network, universities, government agencies, and the private sector. Whether harnessing the power of satellites to measure destructive extreme weather events from hurricanes to hailstorms, researching novel approaches to modelling seismic hazards and their secondary effects, analysing the risk of volcanic ash to the aerospace and maritime industries, or considering the human impacts of population displacement following disasters, the Willis Research Network has the expertise our colleagues and clients require to apply the latest advances in Earth Science research to risk management.
