Synthetic TC models are powerful - but may be hard to use outside climate science. We release global coastal wind hazard maps from CHAZ, translating TC tracks into exceedance intensities and return periods. Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Data: datadryad.org/dataset/doi:...

🚨I’m recruiting 1-2 PhD students for my Air Quality Data Science 🌐 group @utah.edu (start Fall ’26), working on multimodal machine learning applications for atmospheric chemistry (wildfires, ozone, dust). How to apply below. Please repost & ping me with recommendations!
What if companies disclosed climate risk the same way insurers analyze it: with event-based probabilistic models that show what could happen, when, and with what likelihood? Check out our new paper in Environmental Research: Climate to learn more! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
There is a new CLIVAR working group focused on climate risk (I'm one of the organizers). We are having our first public webinar tomorrow 7/10 at 1 pm ET. We have some FANTASTIC speakers including @kellyhereid.bsky.social, @climatefran.bsky.social, and Zong-Liang Yang.
TODAY at 1pm ET Where I'll be talking about how you can get pretty fancy with wildfire risk analysis with some not-that-fancy climate science.

Future TC risk is uncertain — but here’s the twist: what drives that uncertainty changes with your risk model setup. We unpacked that. Full paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @adamsobel.bsky.social @scamargo.bsky.social @nblmndl.bsky.social and other wonderful co-authors 🙏!
