Mercifully averted @ivanhigueram.com's hypothetical LinkedIn version of this (... “Some look at the world as it is and ask why. We looked at environmental hazards and said… why not us?” 🌟 #ProudMoment #ChangeMakers #Humbled #ClimateWarriors #Innovation #Leadership #AtlasDrop). Check out the site!
We are excited to announce the release of the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas, an effort to map ongoing and future environmental hazards and their impacts on society, and to provide up to date evidence on what policies and interventions work to reduce impacts: adaptationatlas.org.

NEW: The Trump administration proposes nearly $1.7 billion in cuts to NOAA that, if passed, could decimate weather and climate research, including funding to nine California institutions.

The @sfchronicle.com has obtained a White House document detailing the proposed budget cuts. Read it here:

NOAA grants provide funding to nine cooperative institutions in California. Several branches of the agency could lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

🚨Preprint alert: Led by Karina Chung (an undergrad!), we develop a wildfire smoke risk index that accounts for historical burned area, fuel consumption, and customized land management in Google Earth Engine 🌎 A useful tool to weigh risk-outcome scenarios 🔥

NEW: Mass heat mortality events are coming. In our new preprint, we project tens of thousands of deaths per week in Europe, if the weather patterns that produced heat waves historically happen again at future -- or even current -- global temperatures.

Wildfire smoke routinely exceeds national air quality stds. Officials can seek exemptions for smoke events, but thats getting more complicated as smoke becomes more commonplace. They can also make steeper cuts to other sources of pollution — but that may not work if smoke events continue to ⬆️.
