CALL FOR PUBLICATION PROPOSALS. I'm on an editorial board for a new Anthem Press series entitled "Law, Resilience and AI." We’re inviting authors to contribute to a new series that explores how law, climate resilience, and artificial intelligence intersect to shape societies today and in the future.

Was great to participate in this panel last week sponsored by @kogodbiz.bsky.social @americanuniversity.bsky.social. Lots of diverse perspectives on climate and the role of the private sector to advance progress in terms of certification, branding, and communication tools.

⚠️ While extent will not be setting any annual minimum records this year, the average thickness of #Arctic sea ice is actually at historic lows for this time of year (in the dataset by PIOMAS). Thinner ice is younger and usually more fragile.

Enjoyed being a guest lecturer yesterday @georgetownlaw.bsky.social in their Climate Change Law & Policy seminar to talk about role of scientific assessments in informing policy decisions, and the importance of process used to develop assessments for credibility and ultimately widespread use

Sorry to hear this. This has been a prestigious & competitive fellowship program that has helped train next gen of science leaders. Alumni of this program are impressive. I had the honor of meeting fellows at AGU. While at NOAA we had the Sci Advisory Board review the program. It got very high marks

It's with a lot of mixed emotions that I'm announcing that last week was my last at EPA. I decided to take the offer to leave. I was hired as EPA's first director of the newly created Office of Climate Adaptation & Sustainability.

AMAP recently released three high-level summaries on important topics for the Arctic: plastics, radioactivity, and climate. I had the honor of chairing this group a while back and it's great to see this work continue and made accessible. Kudos to all in AMAP who made this work possible.

Incredibly honored to be recognized by Am Society of Civil Engineers for work I did at NOAA forming a partnership to bring science of changing weather & climate into new standards. So important we no longer assume stationarity to make infrastructure more resilient for current & future generations.

The shrinking of the Greenland Ice Sheet can’t be stopped—but it can and must be slowed! 🏝️
2024 was the 27th year in a row that the Greenland Ice Sheet shrank, losing ~269 gigatons of ice each year since 2002! 🧊🔥

I should reintro myself after getting lots of followers thanks to colleagues more popular than myself. I recently returned to EPA as director of an office that works across EPA and partners w/ communities, states, businesses to protect health & environment in the face of climate & weather hazards
