a bunch of losers in the office of management and budget are trying to tear apart federal science and research funding in the US. in my professional opinion, this is a very very bad idea.

this ends science as we know it

Tomorrow morning seems like a good day for a NYC stroll through Central Park.

Very excited to kick off #EGU26 with a solicited talk Monday morning! I'll be presenting my work on the emerging risk for heat extremes during unexpected times of year around the world. Stop by bright and early to learn more from this and other exciting presentations in this session!

Our paper exploring the drivers of the November 2023 “Taylor Swift” heatwave in Rio de Janeiro is officially out in WCD! Take a read to learn more about the causes of this record-breaking heatwave and Rio’s emerging risk for extreme heat: wcd.copernicus.org/articles/6/1...

Physical drivers of the November 2023 heatwave in Rio de Janeiro

Abstract. Because extreme heat has not historically been a major hazard for the city of Rio de Janeiro, the November 2023 Heatwave magnitude and timing were staggering. Here we conduct a case study of...

Excited to be giving two invited presentations on the influence of monsoon systems on extreme (humid) heat at this year's #AGU25! Stop by NH44B-02 Thursday afternoon and A51H-01 Friday morning to learn more and chat!

With the Heat Wave expected across the Central and Eastern US this weekend into early next week, this was an excellent video primer on the Limit of Compensability for adults and associated Heat Risk. Great Job by @ccivanovich.bsky.social and the PBS Terra team youtu.be/7hBMbQ9de1g?...

Summer heat across the Eastern U.S. is off the charts in a new "stickiness" measurement that combines heat and humidity—and it isn’t over yet. 🔗: on.wsj.com/3Uwf7D1

Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich.bsky.social shared during @wclivestream.bsky.social the factors influencing dangerous extreme heat events plus ‬a public communication tip for conveying the difference between humid and dry heat extremes – “sticky” vs “crispy”

feeling toasty? @ccivanovich.bsky.social is about to talk heat waves and stickiness on the 100-hour @wclivestream.bsky.social wclivestream.com/watch

Tune in for the kick off of the livestream tomorrow (1pm ET) from NASA GISS during the final hours before we're removed from our office. I'll be speaking about the federally-funded work I've done over the past six years to help understand the drivers of extreme humid heat events.

The Weather & Climate Livestream@wclivestream.bsky.social · last yr.

Mark your calendars: starting 5/28, join us at wclivestream.com/watch as we kick off 💯 hours of meteorology and climate science, all with one goal: save America's forecasts! Whether it's tomorrow's rain, or the coastline in fifty years, our speakers want to keep helping you plan for your futures.

📣New Review! Mortality impacts of the most extreme heat events By Tom Matthews et al., including @regclimo.bsky.social & @ccivanovich.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

At least we don't have to read about this on a federal government website: At 2°C of warming, the area on Earth that is too hot for humans will triple. This is fine. 🔥🧪

For extreme heat, each year seems to bring fresh examples of precedents being surpassed — in heat severity, but also in understanding of its physics and risks. A group of us led by Tom Matthews and Radley Horton have assembled a review of this knowledge whirlwind: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Great paper from my brilliant climate scientist colleague @ccivanovich.bsky.social and economists @rdbressler.bsky.social @ajsw.info ! Great example also how we can improve climate impacts studies when incentives align to allow for this kind of interdisciplinary collaboration and design.

Heat disproportionately kills young people: Evidence from wet-bulb temperature in Mexico

Analysis of temperature exposure and microdata finds the majority of heat-related deaths are among people under 35 years old.

Amazing to see this work dreamed up by Danny and I in the early years of our PhDs in its final form! By combining high resolution climate and mortality data, we paint a more complete picture of the evolving risk for temperature-related deaths in Mexico. Take a read!
