As severe weather increasingly upends lives, forecasters are working closer with Pittsburgh emergency managers Coordination between the National Weather Service and emergency managers is increasingly necessary as extreme weather events that cause widespread destruction and upend residents’ lives become less an...

Our infrastructure is not built for climate change. I and @davidrounce.bsky.social talked with the @post-gazette.com about climate impacts on communities. www.post-gazette.com/news/weather...

Bridging the gap: riverine nature-based solutions for climate resilient transportation infrastructure in the United States - npj Urban Sustainability npj Urban Sustainability - Bridging the gap: riverine nature-based solutions for climate resilient transportation infrastructure in the United States

🚨 New Paper! Led by PhD alum Dr. Marissa Webber & co-authored by undergrad alum Lillian Mei, we looked at how Nature-Based Solutions can help increase climate resilience for infrastructure near rivers, & we talked with State DOT leaders about the barriers for deployment. doi.org/10.1038/s429...

I was a grad student at CMU when Randy gave his Last Lecture. I’ve been trying to live my life as a teacher like Randy ever since.

Swiss glacier collapse buries most of village of Blatten Many homes in Blatten have been flattened after a large chunk of the Birch glacier fell on to the village.

“The village's 300 inhabitants had to leave their homes on 19 May after geologists monitoring the area warned that the glacier appeared unstable.” Unimaginable to consider what could have happened without public investments in hazard monitoring and prediction.

The study also introduces a new phenomenon referred to as "trough water", where glacier regrowth after the period of overshoot will actually reduce water availability for decades to centuries. This trough water occurs in approximately half of the glacier basins that were investigated.

Irreversible glacier change and trough water for centuries after overshooting 1.5 °C - Nature Climate Change How mountain glaciers will react to temporarily overshooting 1.5 °C of warming is poorly understood. Here the authors show irreversible global glacier loss for centuries after overshoot, implying long...

Our new study, led by Lilian Schuster, simulates temperature "overshoot" scenarios and reveals that any increase above 1.5 degC has irreversible impacts on glacier mass loss, sea-level rise, and water resources for the centuries. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
