This #MapMonday from @maps-and-pepper.bsky.social shows the predicted return period of once-in-a-generation storms. As climate change increases extreme weather events, we need to prepare with accurate risk information.

"This is exactly what we expected to happen," Holmes said. "As the earth gets warmer, we see more extremes and it's the extremes that get us. They kill us. They make us sick." Quotes from our President, Dr. Max Holmes in this USA Today piece from @dinahvp.bsky.social: share.google/MJOpg6JF39JG...

🌡️Have you been feeling the heat this week? Stay informed, hydrated, and safe! Dangerously hot days are on the rise across the U.S. according to this map from @cmshintani.bsky.social. This week’s extreme temperatures are part of a larger trend of climate change.

This map from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the permafrost extant across the boreal forest ecoregion. Read more about the connection between boreal wildfires and permafrost at www.woodwellclimate.org/connection-b...

Proud that the Woodwell Climate Research Center (@woodwellclimate.bsky.social) is a member of the Friends of NOAA coalition. Timely work to support an incredibly important agency - for climate, weather, and oceans. See the coalition's new website here: friendsofnoaa.net

These are just some highlights. The whole pod is worth a listen. Thank you to Arctic Council team and all contributors for convening this meaningful conversation! #ArcticFire #climatesolutions arctic-council.org/podcast/arct...

New 🔥 pod from Arctic Council on decolonizing wildland fire management, revitalizing Indigenous fire practices, and how the global community can respond to an Arctic on fire. Grateful our @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team could join the conversation 🧵 #CanadaWildfires #ArcticFire #ClimateSolutions

When boreal forests burn, the whole world feels the impact. Research from Woodwell Climate has expanded our understanding of boreal fire impact. Check out these four graphics from @cmshintani.bsky.social that shed light on the role of boreal fires in climate change: lnkd.in/evnUbxuC

🎤 Moderated by Dr. Sue Natali, our panel session convened Morris Alexie and Melissa Shapiro from @woodwellclimate.bsky.social, Karen Pletnikoff (Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association), and Max Neale (ANTHC) to discuss challenges, innovations, and policy recs for climate adaptation in Alaska.

📣❄️ Applications are now OPEN for the October 2025 Scaling Impact: Co-Creating a Shared Framework for Teaching AI and Machine Learning with Applications in Arctic Research workshop. Learn more about the workshop and submit your application by June 30th here: forms.gle/a3TQ9QeoqocT...

This summer, we'll keep you updated on boreal wildfire season. But first, let’s get our jargon out of the way. What is boreal? Boreal means north and is often used for the climate, ecosystem, and forest region illustrated by this map by @cmshintani.bsky.social

Here’s some of our last couple weeks for #ClimateScienceForChange 1️⃣ The Evolving Meta-Ecosystems (EVOME) Institute started their fieldwork season in Alaska. EVOME brings together experts from across disciplines to generate insights at every scale of biology. 📸 : Andie Norton

Our boreal fire team @woodwellclimate.bsky.social is in D.C. this week to discuss responses+solutions to address the severe northern #wildfires impacting people, animals, and ecosystems. We'll be adding to this resource 🧵, so please let us know what you'd like to see. (🗺️ by @cmshintani.bsky.social)

Our President, Dr. Max Holmes will join innovators, leaders, and storytellers at the 2025 Sun Valley Forum: All In For Nature: Building A Resilient World. 🌎 tinyurl.com/355pw4a3 #SunValleyForum

From extreme storms, to record drought, wildfires, severe flooding, and warming temperatures, the reality is today’s climate is already creating unlivable conditions for communities. These maps by @cmshintani.bsky.social show climate change and its damaging symptoms.

⛰️ We're thrilled that Brooke Woods, Alaska Native fishing rights advocate and Climate Adaptation Specialist at @woodwellclimate.bsky.social, is speaking at #Mountainfilm Festival tomorrow! 🐟 Learn more about Woods, her work advocating for Alaska Native-led salmon fisheries, and the esteemed panel:

We are sending huge congratulations to @gfiske.bsky.social whose maps highlighting Arctic change will be displayed in an iconic mural location in Telluride, CO for an entire year. Here's a peek at the mural unveiled at Mountainfilm this week. (📸 : Stash Wislocki)

Woodwell Climate's President and CEO Dr. Max Holmes spoke with Sachi Kitajima Mulkey @grist.org about what's at stake with unprecedented cuts to federal climate science funding and staffing. grist.org/science/amer...

A team from @woodwellclimate.bsky.social joined the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission today to talk abt climate hazards & the risk assessment that we completed for Chicopee, MA. Proud to have provided pro-bono climate risk assessments to more than 60 communities around the world, with more to come.

This well-loved print on our map table @woodwellclimate.bsky.social is a Venn diagram I created long ago to visualize the synergy btw maps and science. Ultimately, the relationship is iterative: robust maps fuel better scientific inquiry, which in turn allows us to create even more insightful maps.

The policies put in place now can drastically reduce climate impacts across the globe — strengthening communities, saving lives, and protecting the natural systems we all rely on. Read more about how our Government Relations team bridges the gap between science and policy: bit.ly/3EQzA1h

For 40 years, we’ve worked with leaders to ensure that policy and decision-making at every level are informed by world-class climate research. We’re standing strong. Stand with us. bit.ly/433NmFN

Forest stability is a measurement of a forest's resistance to disturbances, both manmade and natural. This map by @cmshintani.bsky.social shows that forest stability is a marker of our oldest, strongest forests.

Our federal government has a responsibility to advance climate awareness and preparedness. But non-profits like Woodwell have always picked up where government leaves off. In the face of a federal withdrawal—and with your help—we will step into the gap. www.woodwellclimate.org/the-reality-...

We were founded 40 years ago to bring science to the decision-making table. Recent events - from extreme weather to extreme policy - have made our work more important than ever. With your help, we can do it for the next 40. We’re standing strong. Stand with us. bit.ly/3GlaQ1v
