Locally relevant and decision relevant climate information is indeed a lot harder to produce (even in advanced nations with strong data and scientific enterprises), but so much more useful and usable by communities and individuals.

Selling Bahn Mis to Pennsylvanians

The Institute for Energy and the Environment here at Penn State worked with me on this Colorado River Q&A that just got published this week.

Some pretty neat graphics too!

This is quite a comprehensive list. Some of the suggestions are terrible. Many are great (big ups to the famous @drjeffmasters.bsky.social flood risk assessment list).

This is also a 100% insane ask to put climate adaptation onus on individual homeowners when this is what is required.

Join us this Thursday on a joint webinar with Penelope Mitchell, organized under the Women Advancing River Research series. I will be talking about complex water resources systems, uncertainty, and using scenario storylines (you know, the usual!)

Data visualization is challenging, especially when moving from exploratory purposes (i.e., to discover or understand the data) to explanatory purposes (i.e., communication with others).
In a paper led by @hadjimichael.bsky.social we discuss different visuals iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

A year ago today the IPCC published its #AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023

Exciting update! @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social - launch the Interactive Climate Atlas

atlas.climate.copernicus.eu/atlas

This new tool builds on the data of the IPCC Climate Atlas and enables exploration of CMIP6 climate projections and other datasets including observations and reanalysis.

We're looking to hire an Environmental Data Analytics Postdoc to join our team at Penn State and closely collaborate with Michael Waring (at Drexel) in a DOE-funded project and other opportunities. For more info and to apply: psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic...

This paper is a fantastic resource on scientific data visualization best practice, especially if you, like me, dislike blunt visualization rules like "pie charts are bad".

Ways that researchers can improve the likelihood their outputs will have policy impact include but are not limited to:

• Don’t publish in a predatory/low-quality journal
• Make work open access or otherwise available
• Summarize findings in the title and abstract (please!)
• Talk about the work

Hello, I am here!
