Climate Change and Population Growth

Financial Impact Analysis, Insurance Intelligence, and Adaptation Guidance

With decades of deep experience in natural catastrophe risk modeling and climate change science, Lynker Intel partners with private and public organizations to operationalize climate change analytics to enable greater understanding, more transparency, and operational intelligence to help you and your company make better decisions for the future, now. For more than two decades, the Lynker Intel team has worked with partners and stakeholders to understand how climate change affects natural hazards and infrastructure vulnerabilities in the US and regions around the globe and to progress toward solutions that quantify the physical risk of climate change. Building a more resilient world is the essence of the Lynker Intel mission. By demystifying the risks of climate change, we are committed to helping organizations of every type factor these considerations into their strategic outlook with climate change models, data, and analytics.

For over 20 years, Lynker Intel scientists have developed strong relationships with a variety of organizations and clients at different scales around the world. We are focused on contributing our climate change and risk modeling expertise to help clients, planners and markets understand the physical risks posed by climate change. Responsible organizations want to know their exposure to climate change risk. There is an urgent need to assess and quantify the extent of the rising physical risk caused by climate change – how much it has already changed, what will happen in the future, and how such risks are being priced.

Systemic or compounded risk is the new norm, from the effects of rising sea levels on storm surge to that of drought on wildfires. The business interruption caused by these catastrophic events has become a standard boardroom concern. When the insurance industry incentivizes resilience investments, Mother Nature’s punches will lead to fewer defaults on loans, and that leads to a more stable financial system.

With stakeholders such as the insurance industry, regulators, investors, and customers all requiring answers, Lynker Intel can help. Our climate change risk analytics practice helps clients translate climate change science into a competitive advantage with regulatory and business consulting services.

Hydrologic Modeling and Forecasting

Lynker Intel has expert hydrologists with strong expertise in field work, data analysis, research, modeling, forecasting, and developing actionable data products across all water environments. We work with a holistic approach to solve water-related issues by considering the combined effect of weather, climate, water and human management.

Planning and Designing for Resilient and Green Infrastructure

Infrastructure and its networks will be affected by the physical impacts of climate variability and change but will also play an essential role in building resilience to those impacts. Lynker Intel can help you prioritize, plan, and design new or retrofit old infrastructure in a more thoughtful environmentally aligned (green) manner that can account for the climate and other changes that may occur over its lifetime.

Geospatial Analytics

Business and government leaders face unprecedented risk from natural hazards, climate change, population growth, geopolitical shifts, and security threats. Lynker Intel can help you by building customized spatial intelligence to visualize risk on “smart” maps, find patterns and trends in big data, and communicate seamlessly during risk mitigation and response.

Environmental Modeling

Lynker Intel has deep experience working with multi-disciplinary and stakeholder teams to develop ecological restoration solutions for fluvial, coastal, and wetland environments. We work with clients to restore damaged habitats that provide important ecological functions and contribute to improved ecosystem health benefiting humans and wildlife alike.

Geohydrology and Groundwater Resource Sustainability

Hidden from view, groundwater provides a critical water supply resource to billions of people across the globe, while simultaneously providing a foundation to healthy ecosystems. Lynker Intel geohydrology professionals have the knowledge and experience to help clients manage their groundwater resource challenges.

Mine Water Management

Considering progressively more stringent regulations, high profile tailings dam disasters, declining ore grades and mine closure activities, sound water management strategies and models are paramount for successful and safe mining. Lynker Intel excels at assessing all phases and functions of mine water resources including the development of water-balance and groundwater flow-and-transport models to support the efficient management of water at a viable price. We understand that the availability, quality, and cost of water are key to investment decisions, and cost-effective water management is critical to profitability.

Site Assessment, Remediation, and Closure

Land, soil and groundwater impacted by accidental spills and releases of chemicals and wastes can present unacceptable risks to human health and the environment. Mitigation of exposure to impacts begins with a sound understanding of the sciences that define their 5 fate and transport. Lynker Intel approaches site assessments, feasibility studies, and remediation of impacted soil and groundwater considering the science and using the wide variety of means and methods in our toolbox.
