Enjoyed attending the Black River Watershed Conference this week & learning more about the work being done across the Tug Hill region. Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to deliver the keynote on communicating climate change & the impacts already being felt across NY.

A lot of the United States is dealing with drought at the same time extreme rainstorms are becoming more common.
The two trends are connected:
Warmer temperatures are causing heavier downpours, while also drying out the land faster between storms.

We have a new book chapter out: doi.org/10.1201/978100356733…. Here, we overview how extreme event attribution assessments & improved decadal prediction can support resilience planning & decision-making around climate risks.
If you are interested in it, don't hesitate to reach out 🙂

Slowly but surely, I am adding more metrics for monitoring the Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI) on my climate indicators page (monthly): zacklabe.com/climate-change-…. It could be quite a year for El Niño 😬

The data comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Mauna Loa Observatory, which may soon be shut down due to proposed government budget cuts
