Please join us for this important talk, with Q&A, by Deepti Singh, Ph.D. The western U.S. has experienced several climate-driven extreme events in recent years ranging from record-breaking heat, drought, and intense flood-inducing rainfall. Such widespread extreme events have simultaneously affected a large geographic region affecting disaster management resources, an individual’s ability to avoid impacts, and various societal sectors. Date | Thursday, March 10, 2022 at 5:30pm Location | Virtual Zoom Link Register here! This talk will discuss observed trends in such extremes, their projections, and potential societal consequences. Deepti is an assistant professor in the School of the Environment at Washington State University. Prior to joining WSU, she received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2015 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University from 2015-2018. Her research aims to advance our understanding of climate hazards affecting vulnerable communities with the goal of providing actionable information for designing policies, risk-management, and adaptation planning. She studies the influence of human activities on weather and climate events occurring on local to global scales.
