Our paper exploring the drivers of the November 2023 “Taylor Swift” heatwave in Rio de Janeiro is officially out in WCD! Take a read to learn more about the causes of this record-breaking heatwave and Rio’s emerging risk for extreme heat: wcd.copernicus.org/articles/6/1...

Excited to be giving two invited presentations on the influence of monsoon systems on extreme (humid) heat at this year's #AGU25! Stop by NH44B-02 Thursday afternoon and A51H-01 Friday morning to learn more and chat!

With the Heat Wave expected across the Central and Eastern US this weekend into early next week, this was an excellent video primer on the Limit of Compensability for adults and associated Heat Risk. Great Job by @ccivanovich.bsky.social and the PBS Terra team youtu.be/7hBMbQ9de1g?...

Summer heat across the Eastern U.S. is off the charts in a new "stickiness" measurement that combines heat and humidity—and it isn’t over yet. 🔗: on.wsj.com/3Uwf7D1

Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich.bsky.social shared during @wclivestream.bsky.social the factors influencing dangerous extreme heat events plus ‬a public communication tip for conveying the difference between humid and dry heat extremes – “sticky” vs “crispy”

feeling toasty? @ccivanovich.bsky.social is about to talk heat waves and stickiness on the 100-hour @wclivestream.bsky.social wclivestream.com/watch

Tune in for the kick off of the livestream tomorrow (1pm ET) from NASA GISS during the final hours before we're removed from our office. I'll be speaking about the federally-funded work I've done over the past six years to help understand the drivers of extreme humid heat events.

The people telling you climate change isn’t real would also like you to believe that paying rent on an empty building saves money www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/n...

Meet @ccivanovich.bsky.social, NASAGISS postdoc & Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory PhD, who studies climate extremes & humid heat, including their physical & social drivers, and is also passionate about relaying complex scientific concepts to the public. #IDWGS ➡️ lamont.columbia.edu/news/women-s...

📣New Review! Mortality impacts of the most extreme heat events By Tom Matthews et al., including @regclimo.bsky.social & @ccivanovich.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

At least we don't have to read about this on a federal government website: At 2°C of warming, the area on Earth that is too hot for humans will triple. This is fine. 🔥🧪

For extreme heat, each year seems to bring fresh examples of precedents being surpassed — in heat severity, but also in understanding of its physics and risks. A group of us led by Tom Matthews and Radley Horton have assembled a review of this knowledge whirlwind: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Great paper from my brilliant climate scientist colleague @ccivanovich.bsky.social and economists @rdbressler.bsky.social @ajsw.info ! Great example also how we can improve climate impacts studies when incentives align to allow for this kind of interdisciplinary collaboration and design.

Important and well-researched work from @rdbressler.bsky.social, @ccivanovich.bsky.social, @regclimo.bsky.social amongst many others on the author list. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Amazing to see this work dreamed up by Danny and I in the early years of our PhDs in its final form! By combining high resolution climate and mortality data, we paint a more complete picture of the evolving risk for temperature-related deaths in Mexico. Take a read!

Excited to present my recent work deriving the new variable "stickiness" at #AGU24 next Friday -- stop by to learn more about our new tool to quantify the temperature versus humidity contributions to humid heat! For more context, find the paper here in JAS: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Excited to share our recent paper led by Sophie Johnson on the relationship between sequential humid heat and precipitation events 🌡️☔ We identify where humid heat is associated with suppressed or enhanced rainfall, with implications for compound extremes! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list go.bsky.app/Cy8PZju

Hi Bluesky! I’m a climate scientist researching the dynamics and impacts of extreme events, currently studying the physical drivers of extreme humid heat. I’m passionate about collaborating with interdisciplinary research teams and look forward to connecting with folks in climate and other fields!
