Can an outsider shed light on Dutch water culture? That is what my team & I are trying to do in this short animated video about a Dutch tendency to exaggerate how much of NL is below sea level. We'd love to hear what you think. via @YouTube.

Some of the accomplishments of Republican majority in the House: the “Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act” to make it harder for the Department of Energy to create new energy-saving standards; the “Refrigerator Freedom Act” and the “Liberty in Laundry Act.”

RT @UPennEnvir: 🌍 Insightful panel at #PennClimateWeek discussing carbon offsets & net-zero goals! Experts from @pennsas, @weitzman_school….

Of course, I'm worried about my students. What I didn't expect is that students would be checking in on me.

Adaptatie belangrijker dan ooit.

This week at @Tulane University, "Faust" sails into the harbor.

Super colleagues from @WeitzmanSchool & @PennEngineers such as @jwilceclab & @dougsjunkdrawer showcase research leading to solutions in carbon removal, cooling in vulnerable urban areas, decarbonizing the construction industry & predicting landslides.

It's hard to get an overview of all the events during #climateweekatpenn, but this banner helps. I managed to attend 19. I gave my students the week off so they could attend events too. Running into them again & again was fun. BTW not all events made it onto the banner!

Amazing to @Luisamneubauer & @helenamarschalI connect with @PennSAS students in Intense, honest conversations about not feeling overwhelmed, celebrating wins, and insisting on radical responsibility. Great to have @elianaatienza as my partner for this and other events.

We are ready! #climateweekatpenn

New Dutch cabinet. Barry Madlener (Wilders' PVV) for Infrastructure (& Waterstaat); Sophie Hermans (VVD) for Energy (formerly Energy & Climate). How are you feeling about this?.

Who will next minister of infra & water in NL be? The new right/extreme right gov has lots to say about building dikes & barriers against immigrants, refugees & English language, but its climate adaptation plans for SLR are minimal: Recalibrate the high water protection plan.

"Environmental advocates & experts say Louisiana’s new Republican governor is undermining its coastal protection agency — the state’s first & strongest line of defense against climate change-induced sea level rise."
