.@thisisUIC researchers (@mictomi) modeled how rainfall extremes might change in African subregions due to climate change. By 2099, extreme rainfall that historically occurred once every 50 years are projected to recur about every 5-10 years. ▶️doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-7…

Our new paper reviews the state of urban resilience to climate extremes. The takeaway? We can't just "engineer" our way out of this. It takes a mix of infrastructure, governance, and equity. link.springer.com/article/10…

It's SNOWING in parts of the Midwest and Northeast right now! How nice! That changes nothing about the trajectory of winters in those regions, which is toward less reliable snowpack and much, much more rain. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

The study looked at how much extreme precipitation the region can expect, finding that the biggest increases will happen in winter and spring.
