On field trip to Gowanus Canal organized by @ColumbiaMSPH's Michael Musso, @LamontEarth's Steve Chillrud, @frogg_brooklyn, @ColumbiaMPA_ESP students saw how science, policy, community action intersect to address longstanding urban environmental problems: news.climate.columbia.edu/2025/07/14/tox…

New study led by Yanan Fang of Nanjing Institute of Geology & Palaeontology and Paul Olsen of @LamontEarth shows that the Mars–Earth orbital cycle once had a 1.6-million-year cycle that coincided with major climate swings. ➡️ lamont.columbia.edu/news/chaotic-m…

💼 Do you know what a Climate Science Translator does & why they are vital? We have data about climate – now we need the know-how to use them for DRR & anticipatory action? Experts from @HarvardHHI and @ColumbiaClimate explain ➡️ ow.ly/Igjs50WpN2l #CareersInResilience

MOFP joined Food Pod for Humanity to dig in to how NYC is incorporating both planetary and public health into real-world policy. Listen now to learn about how nutrition and sustainability are baked into public meals: rss.com/podcasts/food-…

Researchers suspect that two meteorites found in Sahara Desert may be from Mercury, which would be first ID'd fragments of solar system's innermost planet. Sean Solomon, @LamontEarth geophysicist/NASA MESSENGER mission to Mercury PI, weighs in. Via @CNN. cnn.com/2025/07/14/sci…

Why are flash floods getting worse, and how can you best stay safe? Experts @jeffschlegel of @columbia_ncdp and Jason Smerdon of @columbiaclimate and @LamontEarth explain. Via @TIME. time.com/7302498/flash-…

Leanne Phelps and Kristina Douglass of @columbiaclimate discuss their new study on how diverse African communities adapted to climate variability over the past 10,000 years, with novel insights into how livelihoods formed and evolved. Via @ConversationUS. theconversation.com/africans-survi…

The atmosphere is warm, and warmer air can take more moisture, which hits a cold front and creates street flooding. Given the lack of interaction between the city and the MTA, you then get subway flooding, says @LamontEarth's Klaus Jacob. Via @THECITYNY. thecity.nyc/2025/07/15/sub…

Making the system more resilient is a multi-jurisdictional project, says @LamontEarth expert Klaus Jacob. "There's two different worlds that don't typically work very well—the city & the MTA. It needs fixing on the city side & the MTA side." Via @Curbed. curbed.com/article/flash-…

TODAY Jul 16! Join @ColumbiaClimate, @columbia_ncdp, @UNDRR (in-person/virtual) for Financing for Riskier Future. Explore how science, policy, academia can help bridge resilience financing divide with Kamal Kishore, @jeffschlegel, Lisa Dale, @wxpizza. ➡️ climate.columbia.edu/events/financi…
