Contact support . ABSTRACT As our climate crisis deepens, despair is on the rise. Terms like ?eco-anxiety? and ?climate grief? have become common buzzwords, and a raft of new studies identifies climate disruption as a mental health crisis. This talk outlines the existential toll of environmental destruction on different groups ? from scientists and activists to students and BIPOC communities. We will also discuss strategies for processing difficult emotions and developing the agency and courage needed to stay engaged in the work ahead. BIO Dr. Jennifer Atkinson is an Associate Professor of environmental humanities at the University of Washington, Bothell. Her seminars on Eco-Grief & Climate Anxiety have been featured in the New York Times , Washington Post , Los Angeles Times , Seattle Times , NBC News and many other outlets. Dr. Atkinson is currently working on a book titled An Existential Toolkit for the Climate Crisis, which offers strategies to help students navigate the emotional toll of climate breakdown. She leads public seminars on climate and mental health in partnership with youth activists, psychologists, climate scientists and policy makers. Her podcast ?Facing It ? also gives people tools to channel eco-anxiety into action.

Want to meet other students with similar interests AND connections to the business community? Come to the launch of the Climate Risk Lab! *Wednesday, 1/18* *4 pm in Founders Hall 180* (common area facing the lawn) Note: Founders Hall is an innovative new building on campus, built with sustainability in mind. or fill out this Google Form or email samshug@uw.edu Additional detail from the student at the core of this effort is below: Climate Risk Lab @ Foster The climate risk lab is a working group of students from Foster School of Business and other departments interested in careers at the intersection of climate change, data, and business. The goal is to create a space where students can join to? access resources, meet others with similar interests, develop portfolio projects?, and connect with companies to build careers. What is Climate Risk? Climate risk analysis involves evaluating the effects of climate change and the actions taken in response to it. Climate risk analysis in financial systems focuses on physical risks such as flooding, wildfire, and heat, and transition risks such as the impacts of a carbon tax or consumer sentiment on companies with high greenhouse gas emissions. Focuses: - Understanding how companies are responding to climate change and net-zero - Examining the interaction of physical climate risks, transition risks, and financial systems - Helping students explore career opportunities related to climate change, ESG investing, and sustainable finance Structure: The group will have two primary focuses: A). Create connections between students interested in climate and climate risk by hosting speakers and events 1-2x per quarter. B). Provide a space for individual and small group projects to collaborate with professors and companies to help students gain domain knowledge and experience. Example Project Focuses: These are samples based on initial member interest and will be updated based on member interest. Pillar 1: Physical Risks and Modeling - Climate prediction startups, modeling exploration, real estate, and other impacts Pillar 2: Regulation and Net Zero - How companies respond to demands for climate action, consumer sentiment, SEC & TFCD regulation Pillar 3: Energy and Infrastructures - Supply/demand, batteries and innovation, duck curve, transmission lines Pillar 4: Skills and Investments - Skill needs, career growth, investment tracking, exploring areas of future potential Examples of Resources and Projects: Work on Climate Starter Pack : Excellent collection of links to resources covering a range of topics and the climate career space. Riskthinking.Ai: Toronto-based climate risk model and start-up. Interested in collaborating with students on longer-term projects Timeline: January 2023: Launch and project development February-April: Host 2-3 events and develop an initial set of student-led projects.

The Snoqualmie Valley Preservation Alliance (SVPA) and the Snoqualmie Valley Watershed Improvement District (SVWID) have partnered on a Watershed Resilience Study to better understand the economic impact of worsening flooding in the lower Snoqualmie Valley. The first phase of this economic evaluation will focus on economic impacts to agricultural operations as much of the lower valley is within the protected Agricultural Production District. The first step of this study will be to gather data and information from farmers via interviews to craft a "high level" summary of these impacts to be shared with partners, King County staff, elected officials, decision makers, and stakeholders to prioritize flood mitigation and prevention efforts into the future. The SVPA is interested in working with one or more graduate students or postdocs as an ACORN project team to assist in investigating the economic impacts of flooding on the Snoqualmie Valley?s food and farming system, collecting relevant data for cost-benefit analyses, and assisting SVPA staff with developing a high-level report on these impacts to share with key stakeholders and decision-makers. Please let us know by *Wednesday**, January 25th* if you are interested in this project, and include a brief description of your background and interest as it relates to the project (including any interest and/or experience with agriculture, food, and farming systems, and any experience doing outreach or one-on-one work with landowners or farmers). Previous knowledge or experience is a plus, but is in no way required.

I am excited to announce that our recruitment for *two* Quality Assurance (QA) Specialists (ES4 In-training) has been posted: *Quality Assurance Specialist (Environmental Specialist 4) (In-Training) .* Our QA specialists play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of our statewide ambient air monitoring network, collaborating with the statewide air monitoring team, analyzing large datasets, and performing audits in the field on a wide variety of air monitors across Washington State. We are poised for a large expansion of our air monitoring network to implement the environmental justice provisions of the Climate Commitment Act and these positions will play a critical role in that effort by ensuring federal and state requirements for monitor siting and quality assurance are met and resultant data are of high quality. If you enjoy collaborating with others, problem-solving, and the occasional (roughly one day per week on average) day in the field, this may be an ideal job for you and I encourage you to apply. Please share this announcement with your network of contacts. The first screening of candidates will be February 15th. Thank you.

Bertram) Date: Wed Mar 20 10:36:24 2024 Subject: [pccgrads] Fwd: 2023 AMS Summer Policy Colloquium: June 4-9 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I am very pleased to announce that registration is open for the 2023 Summer Policy Colloquium (www.ametsoc.org/spc ), which will occur from June 4-9, 2023 in Washington, DC. Please share this announcement with colleagues who may be interested in integrating policy into their careers. The Summer Policy Colloquium is an intensive immersion in policy for Earth and environmental system scientists and professionals. Participation is open to all but will be limited to no more than 45 individuals. Colloquium participants meet with congressional staff, members of congress, leading officials from the executive branch, and prominent policy experts. Legislative exercises and policy simulations provide additional windows into the interplay of policy, politics, and procedure in the United States Federal policy process. The Summer Policy Colloquium is a career-shaping experience. Alumni have gone on to serve in crucial roles for the nation and the scientific community such as working in congress and at the highest levels of leadership in the National Weather Service, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), to name only a few. Note that a limited amount of funding is available through competitive awards to support participation of graduate students, postdocs, early-career faculty, and members of underrepresented groups. Please email me (phiggins@ametsoc.org) if you have any questions.
