Excited to share our new BAMS publication w/ the field! From Facebook to TikTok, weather and climate information has become increasingly digital. Our new BAMS paper charts the rise of digital meteorology, the AMS CDM Seal, and how universities are evolving to meet it. 🌪️🌩️📲 doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

The flood warnings that save lives
When floods hit, getting clear, timely warnings out to people becomes lifesaving, but too often these messages fail. The BBC asks disaster experts about how to get it right.

Fantastic news for the 68.8 million Americans that speak a language other than English at home. The important work continues 🙌🏽

I want to take a moment to thank every friend, mentor, and colleague that made this moment possible. Everyone deserves a chance to receive lifesaving information. In this new role, I look forward to bringing this to even greater heights. Prof. Trujillo-Falcón is truly a dream come true. ❤️

68,845,865. That's how many individuals in the United States speak a language other than English at home. Everyone deserves a chance to stay safe during disasters, and I will never stop advocating for that. Thinking of all the communities that are going to be affected by this change.

An open letter to our fellow meteorologists and climate scientists from our Department Head, Steve Nesbitt

An Open Letter to Our Fellow Meteorologists and Climate Scientists
28 February 2025

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The news of layoffs at NOAA and other federal agencies has been tough to hear, and I know many of us here in CliMAS are feeling the weight of it. NOAA’s work is at the heart of what we do as meteorologists and climate scientists, and it’s hard to see talented, dedicated people facing uncertainty. Earth scientists are some of the most dedicated people to their profession you’ll find.  Many have dreamed of their careers since they were young, like me, and now those dreams and aspirations have been jarred.
I know this is a difficult time, but the weather and climate enterprise is close-knit, strong and supportive. Whether in government, private industry, or academia, we are all connected, and we stand with you. If you need advice, networking opportunities, or just someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out us. 
For those in a position to help, let’s do what we can to support our colleagues, whether it be sharing job leads, offering recommendations, or simply reminding them that their work matters. 
To everyone at NOAA, past and present, thank you for everything you’ve done. Your work has made a real difference—saving lives, advancing science, and helping people understand the world around them. You should be proud of your accomplishments and we recognize all of the hard work you do to make our nation and our world a safer place. We value your work, and we in CliMAS are here with you as you take the next steps forward.

With respect and support, 
 
Stephen W. Nesbitt
Professor and Head

My heart is heavy for my NOAA family tonight. As social science research grows within the agency, many of my dear colleagues working on important societal impacts work have received devastating news. I stand with them and remain committed to advocating for a stronger, more resilient future.

Excited to be on a handful of abstracts at #AMS2025 this year :-) On Monday (4:45 pm in Room 206) I'll be presenting a study @jsgoodni.bsky.social , Leanne Blind-Doskocil, @latinwx.bsky.social, and myself have been working on. Come see how the past decade of tornado emergencies have performed.

THRILLED to introduce my research lab to the field for the very first time at @ametsoc.bsky.social! 🧵A thread of where you can catch the @climasuiuc.bsky.social ALERTAS lab at #AMS2025 🧵

Honored to be featured in @npr.org and uplift the voices of undocumented immigrants. We don't often think about this as risk communicators, but evacuation orders may be leveraged to deport the undocumented in the aftermath of weather and climate disasters. We must find solutions moving forward.

With #tsunami warnings issued for parts of #California and #Oregon, it is important the multilingual public receives lifesaving info. Our collaborators at the NWS Automated Translation program have developed graphics in English, Spanish, Chinese, & Vietnamese. Visit weather.gov/translate for more.

I have had a ton of time to reflect today & what this means for my work going forward. Immigrants are among the most resilient people in our country. If anything, I feel even more motivated to uplift their perspectives in disaster contexts. A brighter future is only possible if we fight for it. ✊🏽

Hello, 🔵🌠! Excited to connect on here. So many fantastic updates to share now that I’m at the University of Illinois. Our Advancing Language Equity and Resilience in the Atmospheric Sciences (ALERTAS ⚠️) lab is actively breaking the language barrier for our field! Our website is launching soon… 👀
