Hi friends,

Last week was very hot in Massachusetts, but fortunately for us, the heat dome only stayed in place for few days, giving us the opportunity to cool down a bit this weekend.

Want to learn more about the extreme weather we are seeing? Here are some heat/ weather related talks for you to watch/rewatch:

Living on Borrowed Time:
Author Jeff Goodell and Dr. Mike Flannigan discuss the effects of the heat on the health of people and the impact of wild fires.

Analyzing Clouds and Climate Change:
In this Science For the Public’s show, Daniel Cziczo. Professor and Head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University, explains how the planet overheat impacts clouds formation and behavior.

Designing Climate Resilience:
In this talk from 2018, the Boston Society of Architects explores district-wide approaches to climate adaptation that are relevant throughout the Greater Boston area where sea levels rise and flooding increases due to climate change that are forcing us to think, design and plan better.
