Roles:
Domenico Lombardi is the Programme Director for Civil Engineering and director of the geotechnical centrifuge facility. He is also one of the founding members of the Centre for Crisis Studies and Mitigation.
Research interests:
Domenico's research interests are in natural disasters and climate change.
Natural disasters: Recent research works have focused on probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for onshore/offshore sites (see paper 1, paper 2) and seismic risk assessment of energy infrastructure, including offshore wind farms, nuclear reactors (see paper) and dams (see paper). Recently, he has worked on frameworks for pricing catastrophe bonds (see paper).
Climate change: Domenico contributed to the latest UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (see Technical Report). The report was commissioned by the Committee on Climate Change to inform the UK Government’s next National Adaptation Programme as required by the 2008 Climate Change Act. In particular, he carried out an assessment of the risks and opportunities for the UK offshore industry from climate change.
Research impact: Domenico's research helps infrastructure owners, financial institutions, investors and (re)insurers to predict and manage geohazard- and climate-related risks (see blog post). His research work aims to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".
