An attribution analysis by Climate Central has found that 6.5 billion people — more than 80% of the world's population — were impacted by heat intensified by human-caused climate change during July.

To my fellow procrastinators: the #AGU23 abstract submission deadline is TONIGHT at 11:59 pm Eastern! Click here to submit your abstract to our session: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli…

Once again, it is time to share this IPCC #AR6 graphic: With every fraction of additional global warming, heat extremes & heavy precipitation events become both more frequent & more intense on average over land regions. And some regions are also affected by drought increases.

This part isn't complicated... #ClimateChange 🚨 Last month was the hottest August on record globally 🚨 Last three months are the hottest June-August on record globally A summary of conditions in the ERA5 dataset can be found at climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-te…

Data, data, everywhere... Starting a new analysis and not quite sure what relevant datasets are out there, or how to choose among them? The updated NCAR Climate Data Guide may be just the thing -- it lists quick pros and cons, plus figures, metadata, and expert notes. 1/6

The second paper of my PhD has been published in npj Journals Climate & Atmospheric Science! ✨ We quantify the uncertainty associated with downscaling & bias-correcting CMIP6 climate models. This uncertainty is important in many circumstances! 🧵... nature.com/articles/s4161…

Good round-up of how shocking 2023 has been from a climate perspective. Quotes from yours truly Dr Doug McNeall, Ed Hawkins, Zeke Hausfather, Kelton Minor, Danielle Touma, @kristie_ebi, Mark C. Serreze sciencenews.org/article/climat… by Carolyn Gramling

1. Climate adaptation is underfunded, partially because it’s hard to project returns on investment. We need to know more about what works where, says the UNFCCC. My coauthors & I say: existing data can do this, & at scale. New paper in One Earth: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

With the largest blaze in Texas history still burning across the state, BBC Future asked climate scientist Danielle Touma University of Texas Institute for Geophysics why extreme weather could mean more wildfires for Texas.

Breakout out those CVs and personal statements - it's time for the next job cycle!! We're pleased to announce that the 2024-2025 EES Jobs List is LIVE! Access the list here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Wishing you all a successful season! 😊

I am recruiting two graduate students (MS or PhD) interested in computational hydrology for Fall 2025 to join my newly established a.c.t. hydro lab (acthydro.com) UBuffalo SUNY - The State University of New York! Please share widely! More details can be found here: acthydro.com/join.html

Just dropping by to share our new perspective piece, which dives into an early career view on supporting and training scientists for interdisciplinary work in the rapidly growing field of extreme weather and climate event research... #OpenAccess Paper: doi.org/10.1002/asl.12…

I am so excited about this! 10 more days to apply!

Climate change is leading to an increase in extreme rainfall events. However, in this new study, we showed that extreme flooding events won’t increase as much. Why? Plants are helping us, as always :)

Our paper on "Hydroclimate volatility on a Warming Earth" is out in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. We assess existing scientific literature & conduct new analysis--concluding that "#HydroclimateWhiplash" is increasing due to #ClimateChange. [Thread] nature.com/articles/s4301…

Thank you Sabrina Imbler for speaking to me about our new paper on hydroclimate volatility (nature.com/articles/s4301…) and how it relates to the LA wildfires

For the first UTIG+ Climate Hour of 2025, Danielle Touma discussed the climate science behind the #LAWildfires, why they spread so quick and what to expect in the future. If you're a climate scientist at UT Jackson School of Geosciences or UT Austin, Climate Hour meets Fridays at 1:30pm at UTIG.

This morning, "extremely critical" wildfire risk designation--the highest level--has been expanded by NOAA SPC to include portions of San Diego County as well as much of LA/Ventura counties. Very strong winds & *extremely* low humidity w/record dry fuels expected. #CAwx #CAfire

Might there be some actual rain next wknd in SoCal? Yes, there's a good chance of showers! But uncertainty is high; SoCal will be on "razor's edge" between heavier downpours (& post-fire debris flow risk) and yet another strong/dry offshore wind event. Stay tuned. #CAwx #CAfire
