What Do We Know About Great Salt Lake Dust Sources?

That's exactly what we here in the Dust^2 Cluster are researching. And after 5 years of work, we know more than ever.

In this presentation from the Dust Alliance of North America webinar series Cluster member Kevin Perry answers the question, and describes why knowing about dust sources helps a community prepare for the #risk associated with #ClimateChange.

This feels like a bad sign for #BlueSky taking T&S seriously... less than 6 years of experience? I am sure they are a fine person, but with this resume, I'd probably not even hire them as a senior specialist.

Lets be absolutely clear about the "#PeaceProposal" that #Trump is forging for the #War in #Ukraine:

- #Russia can keep all what is has grabbed so far

- #Ukraine has to give the #USA most of its #wealth

- #Europe has to pay the full #bill and take all the #risk

the collapse of American insurance systems could pose a threat to the stability of financial markets well beyond the scope of the fires. A dysfunctional property insurance sector could "create widespread financial instability," he wrote, just as the collapse in the value of opaque bundles of real estate derivatives in 2007-9 - which first appeared as “seemingly localized problems” – led to a Global Financial Crisis.

Because #AI systems make different kinds of mistakes than humans do, societal error-correction methods that have accrued over centuries won't work.

Which makes #ArtificialIntelligence systems risky to deploy for anything but trivialities until we figure this out.

This great paper has implications not only for Florida sea-level rise #SLR , but also for #adaptation studies more generally. It shows ways to better "evaluate how ongoing policy decisions may lead to, open up, or foreclose different possible futures," esp. how policy can affect #fairness in #risk spreading.
