Negin Nazarian

Thank you newly-minted Vice Chair 😎

Oh hey, BlueSky! Did I tell you this happened last year? 😎

We're on @bsky.app! As the Board on Urban Environment with @ametsoc.bsky.social we're also excited to have several exciting sessions at #AMS2025

...and rounding out our sessions this year will be chaied by OUR chair, @neginnazarian.bsky.social looking at cities and climate change. This is a crucial topic as we prepare for the @ipcc.bsky.social's Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. #urbanclimate

See you in NOLA!

Congratulations to PLOS Climate editors @neginnazarian.bsky.social, @martaolazabal.bsky.social, Anjal Prakash, Masahiro Hashizume, Shobhakar Dhakal and Ahmed Kenawy on being selected for the team leading the @ipcc.bsky.social Special Report on Climate Change & Cities!

And here is some visualization of that from Utopia, an Australian satire show that is often painfully close to the reality

Paris to Replace Parking Spaces With Trees The city’s new climate plan promises to drop speed limits, repurpose traffic lanes, remove 60,000 parking spots and create urban “oases” to combat extreme heat.

Paris’ new 2024-2030 Climate Plan drop speed limits, repurpose traffic lanes, remove 60,000 parking spots and create urban “oases” to combat extreme heat…

Amazing to see so many new followers interested in our research on climate change🌏, atmospheric⛈️, oceanic🌊 and terrestrial🌱 processes.

Here is a starter pack with scientists from the Climate Change Research Centre to make it easy for you to also follow their personal accounts.

Climate crisis to blame for dozens of ‘impossible’ heatwaves, studies reveal Exclusive: Analyses are stark evidence of how global heating is already supercharging deadly weather beyond anything ever experienced by humanity

NEW: “At least 24 previously impossible heatwaves have struck communities across the planet, a new assessment has shown…scientific analyses shows that they would have had virtually zero chance of happening without the extra heat trapped by fossil fuel emissions.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Season’s mis-greetings: why timing matters in global academia Stop using ‘summer’, ‘winter’ and the rest when inviting researchers to events — it’s a small step, but it’s necessary and inclusive.

@nenazarian.bsky.social and I wrote this piece for @natureportfolio.bsky.social on how using seasons when scheduling global events forgets those of us down south

It went viral, and resulted in us receiving hate mail, on that other site 🙄

Here’s to a more reasonable discussion in this blue space

I thought I would try to make a starter pack of Australian climate scientists and help get the community using bluesky more. Please let me know if you've seen anybody around that I've missed! @timraupach.bsky.social @raindrop-herder.bsky.social

Got to love the recognition of the importance of cities and climate at #WCRPOSC23.

It’s been a pleasure to be at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes annual workshop in Brisbane this week. It’s always exciting to talk science with a wonderful group of people forming a genuine community! Here are Martin Jucker and @nenazarian.bsky.social giving their great talks.

11 hours of lay over in Johannesburg and still sitting upright 😊. WCRP Kigali, here we come ❤️. @melissatraveler.bsky.social @juliearblaster.bsky.social @nenazarian.bsky.social @timraupach.bsky.social

How do 5 climate scientists kill time while waiting for a 3am flight the WCRP Open Science Conference? We join BlueSky!
