Meet May's ECR of the month @javedali.bsky.social ! Javed's research focuses on multi-hazard risk assessment, compound flooding and socioeconomic impacts 🌧️🌱📈 Read the blog for more info about Javed's work: wp.me/p9wIOV-Te

🎓 Huge congratulations to the newest doctor in the team, Dr. Javed Ali! 🌟 This weekend, we celebrated his graduation — a special moment to honor years of dedication, hard work, and passion. We're proud beyond words! @javedali.bsky.social

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Ali on successfully defending your Ph.D. thesis! 👏 @javedali.bsky.social Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and we’re excited to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish next!

🎉 I am thrilled to share that I successfully defended my #PhD dissertation today. 🎓 The journey to this moment has been nothing short of exhilarating, filled with challenges, learning, and growth. Thanks to my advisor, Thomas Wahl, and the committee members for their invaluable guidance & support.

Excited to share my latest paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com Natural Hazards! Our study shows that ~80% of flood events along U.S. East & Gulf coasts are compound, driven by multiple drivers. These events result in median property losses 26× and crop losses 76× higher than single-driver floods.

Excited to share our latest paper on transdisciplinary research for clean & resilient energy systems in socially vulnerable communities! We analyze how climate-induced extreme weather impacts energy infrastructure & propose solutions for equitable solar+storage integration. @corelabucf.bsky.social

Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires iopscience.iop.org/a...

Join the AGU-H3S team! Applications due January 15th! shorturl.at/WuRzQ

🆕 study led by PIK scientists identifies the causal links behind the increase in hot and dry extremes in Central Europe. The influence of dry soil on temperature rose by 67%, while the impact of atmospheric drivers on soil moisture has intensified by 50%: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Understanding the mechanisms and atmospheric drivers that contribute to hot and dry compound extremes in Europe it’s a challenge that here we tackle with a causal discovery method. Great experience for me personally to work with this talented team of early career scientists

More compounding hot and dry events in Europe—not only stronger driver, but also amplified causal link strength! It’s such a pleasant journey starting from Como summer school back to 2022. Many thanks to all my excellent coauthors and dear friends www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Honored and excited to receive the prestigious Roy W. Likins Memorial Scholarship award from the American Water Works Association Florida Section at their 2024 Fall Conference! This award recognizes academic excellence, leadership, and contributions to the community and the water industry. #AWWA

I won’t be attending #AGU24 this year, but if you’re interested in our research on how compound flooding impacts communities along the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts, don’t miss the talk by @thomas-wahl.bsky.social on Friday, Dec 13th (8:55 AM - 9:05 AM) in Salon C. 🔗 agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/me...

In a new interdisciplinary Nature Climate Change Perspective paper, led by me, @lisgilmore and Rachael Shwom, we offer a critical perspective on #climate and social “tipping points.” 🎁: rdcu.be/d2gBC 🧵

Our department at UCF has multiple tenure-track Assistant Professor openings. Topics of interest include coastal & water resources engineering, hydrology/hydraulics in urban/coastal areas, hydroinformatics, decision-making under deep uncertainty in the water sector. 🔗 tinyurl.com/ucf-cece-ope...

I often show my students this visualization of how atmospheric CO₂ travels around the globe. Our attitude toward burning fossil fuels would change significantly if we could actually see CO₂. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?11719

Methane is an important contributor to global warming, and cutting methane emissions could be a way to rapidly reduce global temperatures. But it’s CO2 that’s been the primary driver of recent - and future - warming:

New analysis from Climate Central found that 2024 storms’ wind speeds increased by up to 28 miles per hour, boosting their destructive power. 🔗 Full report: www.climatecentral.org/report/2024-...

Haven’t come across a water people list so I made my first starter pack! A broadly defined set of #water experts go.bsky.app/V1LydbV

Check out NOAA’s Sea Level Calculator. This tool combines data from NOAA and NASA to identify significant historical floods in your area and show how often similar events will happen in the future with sea level rise. 🔗 Try it here: coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Air quality in New Delhi dropped to its worst level this year on Monday—with pollutants reaching more than 60 times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommended safe levels.

Hi all, the starter pack below has been significantly updated now, and I will continue to update it further, whenever time allows. Once this starter pack is full (Bluesky currently allows only up to 150 people per starter pack), I will start another one and call it - Part 2. go.bsky.app/2h9ouZY

Are we already breaching the Paris Agreement this year? No, but... While it is almost certain that 2024 will be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level, the limit set by the Paris Agreement applies to a long-term average of at least 20 years.🧵

Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list go.bsky.app/Cy8PZju

Gavin Schmidt (@climateofgavin.bsky.social) and I have a guest essay in today's New York Times about the exceptional and not fully explained recent global temperatures, and climate science can become more "operational" to address these questions: www.nytimes.com/2024...

2024 will very likely be the first year with an annual global temperature exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It’s alarming.

Happy Water Year everyone! We are so excited to celebrate the start of WY2025 with our first round of #RiverCup2024! First up, we have four matches of #DryRivers — learn more about the rivers below, and vote for your favorites at www.agu-h3s.org/rivercup

Get excited — #RiverCup2024 is almost here! Starting 10/1, these 32 rivers from all 7 continents will compete head-to-head for the title of Earth’s Most Remarkable River! For the first time, we have four exciting categories of rivers: #DryRivers, #BigRivers, #RiverRivers, and #FrozenRivers

Asheville is over 2,000 feet above sea level, and ~300 miles away from the nearest coastline. No place is safe from climate change. We all suffer the consequences. We must all take action. We are all in this together.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #3,877!

📣 We have a fully-funded #PhD position in our lab at UCF to work on assessing and reducing coastal risks from sea level rise and hydrometeorological extremes such as storm surges, waves, precipitation, or compound events. 🌐Apply here: tinyurl.com/phd-position... For more info, check the flyer ⬇️
