From pccgrads at u.washington.edu Tue Dec 3 14:40:29 2024 From: pccgrads at u.washington.edu (Miriam A. Bertram via pccgrads) Date: Tue Dec 3 14:41:00 2024 Subject: [pccgrads] Fwd: C ENV 590: Imagining a post-carbon future: Discussions with climate Leaders (WIN 2025) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: *All,* *We still have seats in this seminar course left. Great interdisciplinary seminar class on climate impacts/solutions. Well-received last year across the campus. * *[image: A map of the world Description automatically generated]* *Imagining a post-carbon future: discussions with climate leaders* 1 credit graduate seminar Thursday 2:30-4:50pm in FISH 213 Led by Brady Walkinshaw, College of the Environment Affiliate Professor, and CEO of Earth Alliance. Access granted by instructor from an application link This is a graduate level survey course that brings senior leaders, policymakers, activists, investors, and thinkers across disciplines in the environmental and climate field into conversations with graduate students. The course focuses on a solutions-based lens and explores perspectives and pathways on how to rapidly decarbonize our global economy to reach targets for GHG reductions and biodiversity loss. The course also aims to provide opportunities for students to expand their networks and engage formally and informally with leading thinkers and involves optional evening events through the quarter to dig deeper into the topics and themes covered in the course. Speakers will include political figures and policymakers, academics from other institutions, investors at leading funds, corporate sustainability leaders from Fortune 100 companies, and more. The course will also bring a media, storytelling, and cultural lens to our discussions and will be grounded in an audience framework developed by Harmony Labs and their work on a Narrative Observatory . The course is application-only, and we will cap the course size at 25. Students will be assigned weekly readings and will be responsible for completing short 2-3 paragraph reflections on the readings prior to each seminar. Brady Walkinshaw is founding CEO of a new global climate initiative, Earth Alliance, co-founded by philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and actor Leonardo DiCaprio to accelerate progress on solving the climate crisis. Before taking the helm at Earth Alliance, Brady was CEO at Grist, the nation's leading environment media nonprofit. He has also served as a Washington State senator (43rd District) where he chaired the Latino Caucus. *Brandon Ray **(he/him)* Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Scholar Specialist College of the Environment | University of Washington Ocean Sciences Building, Suite 200 |Box 355355 Seattle, WA 98195-5355 _______________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Application reviews are starting January 10. Best, Ali Burgos ------------------------------ *From:* Barnard, Patrick *Sent:* Tuesday, December 10, 2024 1:02 PM *Subject:* UW/USGS postdoc opportunity [This email originated from outside of OSU. Use caution with links and attachments.] Colleagues: Please share this job posting as you see fit: https://apply.interfolio.com/153701 We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a *postdoctoral scholar to join a team of researchers at the University of Washington and USGS studying compound flood hazards and climate adaptation in the Pacific Northwest, US. *This position is *available immediately* and offered for one year, full time, with potential for extension depending on funding and performance. We will *begin reviewing applications on January 10, 2025.* Thanks! Patrick ------------------------ Key duties and details: Develop, calibrate, and refine high resolution coastal flood models for coastal communities and ecosystems, and use current and predicted future conditions to determine flood hazards for estuarine and open coast settings, in particular using the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS: www.usgs.gov/cosmos ). Evaluate the probabilities and relative impacts of coastal, river, and compound flooding in selected communities under current and predicted future conditions. Assess the efficacy of a range of coastal adaptation solutions (especially habitat restoration) to minimize the future risk of sea level rise on coastal communities. Develop visualizations of model output to communicate results to a diverse array of coastal stakeholders. It is expected that this research will lead to one or more published peer reviewed journal articles that will be co-authored by the postdoctoral scholar and mentors. Other products are also expected as outcomes of this work (e.g., visualizations, presentations). This position is full time and offered for 1 year (12-months); reappointment is possible depending upon job performance and funding availability. The expected start date is Winter 2024. The position will be hosted in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington supervised by Dr. Christie Hegermiller and Dr. Alex Horner-Devine, but will be co-supervised by Dr. Patrick Barnard and Dr. Eric Grossman at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. The successful candidate will join a cohort of several postdocs spread across partner institutions in the region - through the NSF Cascadia CoPes Hub - who work collaboratively on a wide range of project components from seismic hazards to coastal inundation to community planning and engagement. The candidate will also be able to participate in professional development activities through the Hub. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cascadia Hub Team2" group.

Bertram via pccgrads) Date: Thu Dec 12 08:37:45 2024 Subject: [pccgrads] Fwd: Sharing course on climate vulnerability and adaptation In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello PCC grads- A course that could be used to satisfy the Climate Research Seminar requirement of the Graduate Certificate in Climate Science--Climate Change Vulnerability, Adaptation & Societal Transformations; SEFS 550, still has a few seats open for winter quarter. The course has run successfully for two years and is now in its third iteration. "It offers a deeply interdisciplinary introduction to the human dimensions of climate change vulnerability (including understanding various disciplinary and epistemic positions across geography, sociology, and anthropology), an interrogation of existing adaptation solutions across various sectors, and it poses larger questions around the needed set of transformations required to comprehensive reduce long-term climate risk." The seminar (SEFS 550) runs Mondays from 2:30 ? 5:20 pm. The SEFS course listings for Winter 2025 can be found here . A syllabus from last year is attached.

Focused on Washington state, the report will provide a synthesis of the science on climate and climate impacts, geared towards practitioners. We are seeking 3-4 graduate students for the upcoming winter and/or spring quarters. Students will be helping us develop three chapters of the synthesis report: - Water (including snowpack, glaciers, water supply, flooding, water temperature, etc.) - Infrastructure (including energy, transportation, water, and housing & land use) - Sea level rise and coastal flooding (including waves, surge) In addition, we are seeking a student who can compare sea level rise projections for Washington State and develop a practitioner-oriented synthesis of the findings. This would fit into a larger intercomparison project that CIG is leading that is looking at climate and hydrologic model projections. These will be part-time hourly positions, with work occurring in winter and/or spring quarter of this year, depending on availability. If you are interested, please send a brief statement of interest, resum?, and a suggested reference to Carlie Stowe (stowec@uw.edu). Please share this announcement with anyone you think might be interested.
