Climate Shift Index Alert |
|
Record-setting warm overnight temperatures in Florida and Puerto Rico were made at least five times more likely by climate change, according to a new attribution analysis by Climate Central.
The climate-fueled heat exposed millions of people to potential heat-related health impacts as well as the economic burden of increased energy costs.

Applications now open for 2024 Future Leaders Climate Summit |
|
Applications have opened for the Future Leaders Climate Summit, held March 9-11, 2024, in Miami Beach, Florida.
Now in its fourth year, the Summit, which will take place ahead of Aspen Ideas: Climate, will gather a diverse group of over 200 young climate leaders from all over the world to discuss and learn more about climate policy, innovative climate solutions, climate communications, leadership, and climate and sustainability career pathways. During the Summit, Future Leaders will work with experts and each other to develop ideas and recommendations for climate issues facing their communities today, from mitigating climate change, to adapting to extreme weather impacts, to preparing for a rapidly changing world political unrest, forced migration, and security issues. They will attend workshops, plenaries, field trips, and networking events while enjoying the best of Miami Beach during their stay.
Applications close on September 5, 2023.

"Plant a seed" - meteorologist discusses importance of talking about climate change |
|
By Megan Mascheri (FAU Center for Environmental Studies)
A Q&A with Jeff Berardelli, chief meteorologist and climate specialist at WFLA News Channel 8 in Tampa.
Berardelli came to WFLA News Channel 8 in January 2022, after reporting for CBS in New York and previous positions as a meteorologist in the Tampa area and other parts of Florida. Berardelli earned a bachelor’s degree in atmospheric sciences and meteorology at Cornell University and a master’s degree in climate and society at Columbia University.

Aavudai Anandhi was named recipient of the 2023 Excellence in Education Award from the Irrigation Association, USA. This award recognizes an outstanding educator who teaches irrigation, water management and/or water conservation and has a commitment to not only elevating the level of education but also promoting the field of irrigation as a viable and sustainable career to students.
Thomas Bianchi, Professor and Endowed Chair of UF Geological Sciences, has been named an Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Environmental Scholar for Fall 2023. The Bass Visiting Environmental Scholars Program brings premier scholars in any field dealing with the study of the environment, past or present, to Yale for an extended period of time. The scholars are nominated through the YIBS Faculty Affiliates, and while in residence at Yale, scholars present seminars, interact with faculty, students and research groups, and participate in the life of one or more academic units.
Megan Ennes, assistant curator of museum education at the Florida Museum of Natural History, has been named the new director of the University of Florida Thompson Earth Systems Institute. In her role, which began July 1, Ennes will strengthen and forge new collaborations with researchers at UF and across the state to further the Institute’s mission.
