Adriana Keating

Adriana Keating is a Research Scholar with the Risk and Resilience (RISK) Program at the International Institute of Applied System Analysis (IIASA). Her research focuses on the human dimensions of disasters and climate change adaptation. Prior to joining IIASA, she was a Research Economist with the Centre for Risk and Community Safety at RMIT University, Melbourne Australia, and an Economist at the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), specializing in gender in development assistance. Dr. Keating holds two bachelor degrees, a Master of International and Development Economics from the Australian National University, and a Doctorate in Socioeconomics from the Vienna University of Business and Economics.

Currently, Dr. Keating's main research focus is on disaster resilience, with particular reference to socioeconomic systems analysis, and measurement and decision-support methodologies. She has a special interest in incorporating social and environmental considerations into economic analysis and vice versa, and in meeting the research needs of policy-makers and other end-users. Her research has included food security, traditional knowledge for disaster risk management, valuing indirect and intangible disaster impacts, climate change adaptation economics under deep uncertainty, and serious gaming for capacity building and policy development.
