Just published - entering the Golden Age of Infrastructure Failure.
Intense heat waves and flooding are battering electricity and water systems, as America's aging infrastructure sags under the pressure of climate change theconversation.com/intense-… via @ConversationUS
Resilient Analytics is growing - we are looking for data analyst as a great career starting opportunity. However, if you are more senior, please apply as we have other opportunities that are not posted yet!
Check out this Climate Data Analyst opportunity recruiting2.ultipro.com/STA1…
We are very proud to be working alongside @BoCoClimate to address the climate equity issue and to bring climate awareness to every neighborhood! @Resil_Analytics
We’re after high impact climate solutions and we’re proud that the #InflationReductionAct centers equity. We’re also excited about the #NationalGreenBank which will provide a long-term source of capital. It’s all about implementation now. @SusieStrife @RepJoeNeguse @SpeakerPelosi
This critical issue is finally gaining national attention. This is not a comfort issue - this is a national public health issue!
There's no "official mandate for air conditioning in schools, and climate change is turning hot classrooms into a public health issue."

You don't know how good it feels to to do something that is rewarding until you have the chance to leave the thing that is truly weighing you down. #greatresignation #NewJob
Disaster recovery must include considerations of equity and future climate conditions. Very proud of our partnership with Boulder County. Rebuilding for a better future.

The national rail system is being stressed from rising temperatures. Things will get worse!

Climate change requires us to rethink infrastructure assumptions. It is time to start tough discussions on paying for this if we want resiliency. #resiliency #infrastructure @Resil_Analytics

Justice Elena Kagan, “The Court appoints itself — instead of Congress or the expert agency — the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening.” Well said.

A great infographic highlighting the impact of climate change on infrastructure in cold weather. Localizing climate change to the individual is critical for inspiring action. @Resil_Analytics #ClimateCrisis #resilience #Adaptation #infrastructure
The Due North report from @ClimateInstit shows that permafrost thaw is destroying infrastructure in the North; degrading roads make it difficult to transport goods and services and the foundations of buildings are failing buff.ly/3bwDJbC
ALT An infographic describing transformative adaptations needed to address Northern infrastructure concerns. These include reliable food transport and storage, reliable and safe transport, dependable airports and livable homes and buildings.
Extreme heat is a global issue.Building global resiliency needs to be a priority today.There are no easy fixes to this. Awareness and action - start today. #resilience #ClimateEmergency
Japan tops 104 degrees for first time in June amid record heat wave washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
A record heat story and the effects on the human body. Enough of these stories are being told that they should not be ignored any longer. Start designing for hotter temperatures and thinking about the need for cooling centers in every city. #resilience #climate @Resil_Analytics
Hotter than the human body can withstand. For residents of Jacobabad, Pakistan—where temperatures rose to 123 degrees Fahrenheit last month—extreme heat, electricity shortages and water stress are testing the limits of livability.

Last week demonstrated the power of a changing climate with floods in Yellowstone, a national heat wave, and western wildfires. It's Monday - start the week advocating for effective adaptations starting in your neighborhood. Resiliency starts with local steps. #resilience
Rising temperatures are a public health emergency as well as a design challenge. Time for new ideas and approaches.
With Denver now "so darn hot," is air conditioning going from nice perk to absolute necessity? denverpost.com/2022/06/19/ai… via @denverpost

America’s public schools, which are more than 40 years old on average, are not equipped to handle rising temperatures due to climate change, a study reveals. @CUBoulderENVD professor @Paul_Chinowsky shares in @ConversationUS.

Federal, provincial, and territorial govs play a key role in addressing the infrastructure gap and rethinking the way infrastructure is built, so it can better serve Northerners, particularly Indigenous Peoples.

School districts, PTAs, and local governments take note. Climate change impacts student performance in every state.

Excited for the next chapter as I retire from CU and focus on climate resiliency as Resilient Analytics joins Stanley Consultants. prweb.com/releases/stanley_c…
PTAs Teachers Parents - Let's get action on this critical issue: health and safety is at stake as well as an equitable right to learn.
As heat waves intensify, tens of thousands of US classrooms will be too hot for students to learn in theconversation.com/as-heat-… via @ConversationUS
It is time to stop ignoring the threat to infrastructure from climate change. Let Glenwood Canyon in Colorado be your warning - know the threats and start developing resiliency plans. It will happen to your community, not if, but when. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mud…
