On Tuesday, November 4th, the PCC’s undergraduate cohort (UCo) hosted a climate careers panel. UCo’s goal was to provide undergraduate students with varied perspectives and insight into career options that utilize climate education and applications. This panel featured UW alum Taryn Black (Postdoctoral Associate with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center through the University of Maryland), Sam Shugart (Market Analyst at Puget Sound Energy), and Steffen Coenen (Electromobility Engineer/Planner at DSK Associates).  

“At The Sea Ice Edge” is an art + science collaboration with artist Jill Pelto designed to highlight research from NASA’s SASSIE  (Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge) project. In collaboration with members of the SASSIE science team, Jill has created a series of four paintings that convey the science of SASSIE and the impact of climate change on the Arctic, with each piece directly incorporating environmental data.

PCC Interim Director, Kyle Armour  (UW OCEAN & ATMOS), sat down with Ari Weitzman of Tangle (an independent, non-partisan media outlet) on climate predictions, the future of climate, and what scientists know and how. Grab a coffee and check out the article that brings together research, plain language, and context to address climate skepticism and the evolution of the understanding of climate change.
