Scientists have made a white paint that can make surfaces as much as eight degrees Fahrenheit cooler than air temperatures at midday, and up to 19 degrees cooler at night, reducing inside temperatures and cutting air-conditioning needs by as much as 40%. nyti.ms/44mDs1l

After 100s of hours of research (including reading 8 books on sea level rise), I feel like I have a good grasp of the accelerating U.S. flood risk from climate change. Part 1 of my 3-part series is up; part 2 is Friday; Part 3 (the best one!) is Monday. yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/07/how-fa…

A new method by #PrincetonU researchers to calculate increases in flood probabilities worldwide demonstrates the urgency of quickly implementing coastal defense measures to mitigate the impact of climate-related sea-level rise. bit.ly/3NO8nMV


Why aren’t more flood mega-projects getting built at the coast? 🏗️ 🌊 I dug into this question with colleagues at Princeton and Rutgers... cpree.princeton.edu/news/2022/two-…

A study co-authored by @PrincetonSPIA's @ClimateQuant predicts that coastlines around the world will face extreme sea levels — exceptionally high seas due to tide, waves and storm surge — 100x more frequently by the end of the century: go.nature.com/3tI7Ce0

Join us virtually on Tuesday at 3pm EST. Looking forward to discussing both the history of megaprojects in Rhode Island and the political complexity involved in getting big flood protection built 🌊 Register below. Currently 100+ attendees and counting! seagrant.gso.uri.edu/special-progra…


🚨 NEW RELEASE 🚨 Cities are looking at building megastructures to defend against floods from powerful coastal storms. We review the role that politics plays, for public officials and for academics who study coastal resilience @ClimateOpp @rlshwom @BobKopp agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/5DHYXD9P…


New Research Review: Social conflict and politics are crucial factors in the conception, design, and implementation of coastal flood protection mega-projects. With @ClimateOpp @bobkopp @rlshwom cpree.princeton.edu/news/social-an…
