SUMMARY:Understanding and Modeling Weather and Climate Extremes: Challenges and Opportunities for Science and Society
DESCRIPTION:One of today’s major challenges in climate sciences is how to use our state-of-the-art models and climate system knowledge to inform decision making regarding societal responses to climate change. Among the five key reasons for concern\, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)\, are the risks from weather and climate extremes. Severe impacts could be prevented or alleviated through appropriate adaptation measures and better preparedness. \nWeather and climate extremes are influenced by a complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic factors that determine their occurrence\, frequency\, and intensity. Adaptation planning is challenged to take into account near- and long term variability and changes in weather and climate extremes and associated uncertainties. Two different approaches will be presented to show how the influence of large-scale circulation patterns\, such as atmospheric blocking and atmospheric rivers\, can be utilized to improve our understanding and simulation of heatwaves and extreme precipitation events\, respectively. The uncertainties related to simulations of heatwaves and their dynamical drivers is investigated using large ensembles of state-of-the-art global and regional climate models. For the case of extreme precipitation\, a model chain approach from a high-resolution Earth System Model to a convection permitting Numerical Weather Prediction model is employed. Different opportunities to provide impact-relevant information on changes in weather and climate extremes will be presented\, which involves\, for instance\, finding appropriated indicators and incorporating process understanding in extreme value distributions. \nPresentation by Dr. Jana Sillmann\, Research Director\, CICERO

SUMMARY:Our Incredible Shrinking Island: Climate Science Public Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Our Incredible Shrinking Island: Climate Science Public Outreach Information Sessions on Prince Edward Island \nLive webinar presented by Dr. Adam Fenech\, UPEI Climate Lab \nThe University of Prince Edward Island Climate Lab has undertaken a travelling road show of public information sessions on sea-level rise\, coastal erosion and their potential effects on the island province. The lab\, which undertakes research on climate change vulnerability\, impacts and adaptation\, did a similar series of presentations four years ago\, but had a strong incentive to visit over eight communities again this year. The first was funding from the Ecology Action Centre. The second was the new science surrounding the rate of sea level rise. For the last 30 years\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, the world’s leading authority on climate change science\, advised planning for a one metre of sea-level rise. The new science says it could be as much as three times that. The star of the show is CLIVE (Coastal Impacts Visualization Environment)\, a visualization tool developed by the UPEI Climate Lab and Simon Fraser University’s Spatial Interface Research Lab to show the impact of future coastal erosion\, sea-level rise and storm surges. Using a game controller\, users can fly over a 3D representation of PEI and zoom in on their home or community. They then select different erosion and sea-level rise scenarios to see how they will affect the land. Results of showing CLIVE to PEI communities have proved an increase in knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts; an increase in the concern over these impacts; and a willingness to adapt or “take action.” This webinar will provide more details.

SUMMARY:Risk Communication at the Local Level (CMOS Panel Session)
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Max Liboiron (MUN)\, Rodd Laing (Gov’t of Nunatsiavut)\, and Alex Zahara (MUN). \nHost: Joel Finnis \nResearch on science and risk communication has consistently emphasized the importance of collaboration between impacted communities (‘publics’) and accredited expert groups (whether government agencies\, academia\, industry\, or NGOs)\, in order to foster trust and ensure community needs are being accounted for. Although meaningful community collaboration can be difficult to achieve\, it potentially avoids problems of one-way expert-to-public communication\, which assumes risk is effectively mitigated by increasing public attention to expert knowledge. This ‘information deficit’ communication model privileges accredited expert perceptions of what constitutes relevant\, timely\, and accessible communication against local expertise and contexts. Communities can differ considerably from experts in their interpretation of these characteristics\, beginning with how risks are defined and prioritized. While many agencies have no direct experience of a specific hazard or impacted activities\, community knowledge is always a factor when receiving outside information. For example\, ‘timely’ monitoring of hazards by accredited experts may be poorly received by communities that prioritize prevention\, especially when hazards are understood by communities to be long-term and ongoing (e.g. the “event” of methyl mercury contamination as a consequence of hydro-electric development against a long-term trend of extraction and encroachment). Finally\, efforts to improve ‘accessibility’ often focus on delivering streamlined\, simple messaging around nuanced problems; this can become an issue when communities are accustomed to navigating complexity\, and are aware that higher level information exists but is not disseminated. These disconnections are less likely to occur if communities and risk-related agencies actively collaborate on research and risk communication/management planning. These concerns\, and ways forward\, will be addressed in a panel discussion\, with input from social/natural scientists and environmental managers\, sharing lessons drawn from their recent collaborations on plastic pollution\, sea ice stability\, Muskrat Falls flooding and contamination\, and wildfire management.
