Looking forward to this collaboration. See you all in Baltimore next week!

Federal agencies, advisory committees, and non-governmental organizations like the National Academies can inform policymaking by providing evidence and recommendations to guide decisions on public issues. At our November 3 Climate Conversations webinar, Ben Zaitchik and Lauren Wustenberg will discuss how science is incorporated into policy at different levels of government, and opportunities for science and scientists to engage in this space.

Devastating floods like those in the Texas Hill Country and Western North Carolina are a stark reminder of the importance of predicting extreme rainfall and associated flooding in mountainous regions. Enhanced probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates contribute to longer-term resilience for extreme flooding events.   Join us on November 4 for a virtual workshop that will draw on a recent National Academies report on PMP estimation and highlight current scientific understanding and critical knowledge gaps related to extreme warm-season rainfall in mountainous regions.   Learn more and register now: https://ow.ly/7FLK50XfOk0   #Rainfall #Forecasting #Precipitation #ExtremeWeather #Flooding

🌍 Join us for a hybrid two-day conversation on the future of earth observations and data stewardship on December 2–3, 2025.  The workshop will convene experts from government, academia, philanthropy, and the private sector to explore:  🔹 Evolving sectoral roles and responsibilities in Earth observations  🔹 Barriers and opportunities to strengthen governance and data sharing   🔹 Advancing coordination and impact of a globally integrated Earth observation system  🔗 Register here: https://ow.ly/8vyA50Xeaju  #EarthObservations #DataStewardship #Geospatial 

From hurricanes to floods - effective disaster response relies on advanced mathematical models to predict and address the impacts of natural disasters. These models provide critical insights for strategic investments in disaster preparedness that ultimately save lives and resources.  Join The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on Tuesday, October 14 for a webinar on risk modeling and management for natural disasters. Speakers will discuss how their work on quantifying potential effects of natural hazards on society can help improve risk-management policies. This event is designed for policymakers and professionals without a technical background, and questions are encouraged.

Financial losses due to extreme weather events are increasing, urging adequate responses from the extensive insurance and recovery system. A past Climate Conversation featuring Carlos Martín (Harvard University) and Tracy Kijewski-Correa (University of Notre Dame) explored housing resilience and access in the context of compounding disasters, sharing recommendations for how we can rethink our disaster framework to adapt. 🏠 Tune into an upcoming webinar that will expand the conversation of escalating weather risks and address insurance challenges for homeowners and households. 🗓️ Date: October 16, 2025 ⏰ Time: 10:30AM EST 🔗 Register: Extreme Weather Events and Insurance Households, Homeowners, and Risk https://ow.ly/Sse550X8HZO

Excited for the launch and to be able to collaborate with CSU Spur's Climate Hub and the The Institute for Science & Policy for a science-informed policy training for state policy staff. We'll see you there! Veera Mitzner, Max Neumeyer, Peter Goble, Alexandra Mazurek, Jordan Kraft Lambert Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e2r3BESj

Climate assessments—conducted by governments, international bodies, and non-governmental organizations—are critical processes for bringing the scientific community together with those who use their findings to produce trusted decision-relevant information. “Thousands of scientists have contributed to climate assessments, sharing their knowledge of how climate change is unfolding and what it means for people and places around the world,” said Amanda Staudt, Climate Crossroads Senior Director. “This remarkable cooperation has produced incredibly valuable resources to help anticipate and navigate changing climate conditions. The need for trusted science-based information is only increasing as we confront new climate impacts.” Learn more: https://ow.ly/nRsp50WEKQY
