Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

The Trump administration says it will dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a cornerstone for American climate and weather science. I went on NPR today to explain what this could mean for climate research. Listen here: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/18/nx-s1-5648395/trump-moves-to-dismantle-a-global-mothership-of-climate-research

If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about this, American Geophysical Union has a template here: https://agu.quorum.us/campaign/151565/

Cities Are Rapidly Reclaiming Land at Risk of Extreme Sea Level Rise | Hakai Magazine

People are building more and more land—a growing proportion of which is for luxury developments. It’s putting the rest of us at risk of flooding.

My latest article is out, "#FloodRisk as legacy vulnerability: Reading the past into the present for #EnvironmentalJustice".

The rate of sea-level rise over the last decade is more than double the rate from 1993-2002. More evidence that climate change is accelerating.
Some nonsense to continue making decisions without input from those most effected: "A bill in Georgia could disenfranchise descendants of enslaved Africans on Sapelo Island" https://prismreports.org/2023/03/13/georgia-sapelo-island-geechee-descendants/
A bill in Georgia could disenfranchise descendants of enslaved Africans on Sapelo Island

The Geechee community has been on Sapelo Island for 13 generations. Just 30 descendants of the original 44 enslaved families remain

Nearly every instance of burnout in this article feels incredibly relatable. Academic administrators should take note. “Younger Faculty Are Leaning Out. Is That a Bad Thing?”

Younger Faculty Are Leaning Out. Is That a Bad Thing?

The debate over work boundaries rolls through higher ed.

Good news, but can’t imagine how culturally and politically tough this must be to endure. #Relocation due to #ClimateChange will be central to 21st century politics given the large coastal populations around the globe. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/30/climate/native-tribes-relocate-climate.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
