🌐 Laura Paccini, from Peru and now based in the USA, joined Climatematch Academy as a volunteer, helping develop projects and support students in their journey through climate science. 🎤 "I’m an atmospheric scientist originally from Peru. After completing my PhD, I spent a short period as a remote lecturer at my former university. That experience made me realize I could contribute to science not only through research, but also through education and outreach that make climate science more accessible. When I moved to the U.S. for a postdoctoral position, I saw Climatematch Academy’s call for volunteers in early 2023 and immediately jumped in. I started in the Communications Team but quickly joined the Projects Team during Climatematch’s very first edition. That year, our group was designing project topics from scratch. I was impressed by the leadership of Zane and Natalie, and by the global collaboration of scientists to develop six project templates. I co-developed the project “Precipitation Variability and Extreme Events”, and I’m glad to see it remain one of the most popular projects across all three Climatematch editions. In the second edition, I co-chaired the Projects Team, refining templates and creating a guide for Project TAs. While my involvement is lighter now, I continue to support Climatematch by updating material, reviewing applications, and helping with outreach." 💫 Her message to others considering getting involved: "I’d say Climatematch Academy is a great opportunity to learn and connect within the global climate science community. It fosters open science and accessible education and brings together people from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, career stages and regions who share an interest in climate." Laura's journey shows how volunteering with Neuromatch allows you to contribute to meaningful projects, support a global scientific community, and be part of inspiring students’ journeys in climate science. 🤓 Climatematch Academy offers a Computational Tools for Climate Science course every July, along with open-source learning materials you can access anytime. ➡️ Explore more: https://lnkd.in/gtKetM35 📬 Stay in the loop: https://lnkd.in/epWXUw8k 🙋 Share your story: https://lnkd.in/eMy5nJuH #Climatematch #MyClimatematchStory #ImpactStory #ClimateScience #InternationalResearch #ClimateAction #STEMEducation #ClimateChange #ScientificCommunity #ClimateCareers

🌊 We’re proud to share our new study in npj Urban Sustainability, which makes a first-order estimate of how many buildings across the Global South are exposed to sea-level rise. Using Google’s Open Buildings data and a high-quality elevation model, we find ~3 million buildings at risk with 0.5 m of rise—a level already locked in even under rapid emissions cuts—and >100 million if emissions continue.

These findings reveal the vast scale of buildings that could be saved with swift fossil fuel cuts—and show the urgent need to prepare for the changes already underway.

Millions of buildings at risk from sea level rise, McGill-led study finds

Sea level rise could put more than 100 million buildings across the Global South at risk of regular flooding if fossil fuel emissions are not curbed quickly, according to a new McGill-led study published in npj Urban Sustainability. The research provides the first large-scale, building-by-building assessment of the impact of long-term sea level rise on coastal infrastructure in Africa, Southeast Asia and Central and South America. The team used detailed satellite maps and elevation data to estimate how many buildings would be inundated at various levels of sea level rise over multi-century timescales. “Sea level rise is a slow, but unstoppable consequence of warming that is already impacting coastal populations and will continue for centuries,” said Prof. Natalya Gomez, co-author of the study and Canada Research Chair in Ice Sheet–Sea Level Interactions at McGill University. “People often talk about sea level rising by tens of centimetres, or maybe a metre, but in fact it could continue to rise for many metres if we don’t quickly stop burning fossil fuels.” Millions of buildings at risk, even in best-case scenario The study considered scenarios of between 0.5 and 20 metres of sea level rise. It found that with a rise of just 0.5 metres, a level projected to occur even under ambitious emissions cuts, approximately three million buildings could be inundated. Under scenarios with five metres or more of rise, as could be expected within a few hundred years if emissions don’t end soon, exposure increases sharply, with over 100 million buildings at risk. Many of these buildings are in densely populated, low-lying areas, meaning that entire neighbourhoods and critical infrastructure, including ports, refineries and cultural heritage sites, would be affected. “We were surprised at the large number of buildings at risk from relatively modest long-term sea level rise,” said Prof. Jeff Cardile, coauthor and professor at McGill University. “Some coastal countries are much more exposed than others, due to details of the coastal topography and locations of buildings.” Critical insights for urban planners, policymakers, communities The researchers argue that these findings offer critical insights for urban planners, policymakers and communities working to prepare for inevitable sea level rise. “Every one of us will be affected by climate change and sea level rise, whether we live by the ocean or not,” said Eric Galbraith another professor involved in the study at McGill. “We all rely on goods, foods and fuels that pass through ports and coastal infrastructure exposed to sea level rise. Disruption of this essential infrastructure could play havoc with our globally interconnected economy and food system.” The study’s interactive map, publicly available via Google Earth Engine, allows decision-makers to visualize which regions face the greatest exposure. This data can inform climate adaptation strategies such as building protective infrastructure, adjusting land use planning or, in some cases, managed retreat. “There is no escaping at least a moderate amount of sea level rise,” said Maya Willard-Stepan, lead author who conducted the study as part of an undergraduate research project . “The sooner coastal communities can start planning for it, the better chance they have of continuing to flourish.” About the study Assessing the exposure of buildings to long-term sea level rise across the Global South by M. Willard-Stepan, N. Gomez, J. A. Cardille, E. D. Galbraith & E. M. Bennett was published in npj Urban Sustainability.

According to latest data the AMOC slowdown/shutdown is expected till 2050 with ~59% probability.
I expect that much earlier. 10 years are really optimistic methinks. Let's see, what the effects will look like.

Next week our ECR group are starting a #MachineLearning sprint to speed up the development of our new #IceSheet surface mass budget emulation models.

I'm looking for hints, ideas tips and inspiration to help smooth and accelerate the process.

If you're used to working in #Sprint mode, what in your opinion makes it work or otherwise hinders it?

What can I as supervisor do to make it run better?
And how should we celebrate it's conclusion?

Also, should me do an #AMA on the process?
