Pathways Climate Institute

We integrate science, engineering, policy, and community engagement into adaptation pathways that address today’s climate hazards and tomorrow’s uncertainties.

@KrisLMay reflects on the Fifth National Climate Assessment and the Bay Area #nca5 #ClimateCrisis

@onetamalpais @sfei_asc @TyroneJue @KrisLMay @SPUR_Urbanist @center4goodfood @SFEnvironment The Bay Area’s mild summer gave us time to catch our breath, but climate action must continue with urgency, writes @KrisLMay, Bay Area climate scientist & lead author for the Fifth National Climate Assessment. @ClimatePathways @usgcrp 6/6🧵 https://t.co/On3CZBtucS

Aaaand we’re back on our frames for another week of monitoring with the @SFPort and @ClimatePathways! 🤗 This week, our focus is to photograph and survey our small mid & high elevation tiles at the Ag Building & Pier 45! #LivingSeawalls #LivingSeawallPilotProject

Happy #FieldworkFriday! Our #LivingSeawall team is ecstatic/exhausted after a week of monitoring at the Ag Building & Pier 45 (yay for 6am low tides)! 😄 We successfully surveyed all our tiles and will wrap up summer monitoring at South Beach Harbor in a couple weeks!

Daisy Ramirez Lopez hosted a table for Pathways to help youth in the San Francisco Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood learn about jobs focused in the Climate Change field. #ClimateAction #climatework #ClimateJustice

The gangs all here at the California Adaptation Forum!! So blessed to bring the gang of eight to the forum. #climatechange #ClimateAction #BetterTogether #CAF #caf2023

Water in Coastal California: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. A packed session at #CAF focused on compound flooding in East Palo Alto. Thanks to @NuestraCasa1 and @SPUR_Urbanist for helping lead these discussions with us!

[Pathways Climate Institute @ClimatePathways]

Great session this morning at the 2023 California Adaptation Forum! Thank you to everyone who came and packed the room and brought up very thoughtful questions. Thank you to Jack Hogan (@Arup), Leah Fisher (@CaltransHQ), @KrisLMay, Whitney Brennan, and Christina Bejarano (WRT).

Happy #PhycologyFriday! 🤗 We found ample amounts of algae on our #LivingSeawall tiles this week—Ulva, Polyneura, Laminaria, Egregia, Cryptopleura, Undaria (🫣) and more! We’re on a mission to ID all the filamentous reds to species but let’s just say there were quite a few! 😅

Second day of summer #monitoring and we’re already seeing a difference in coverage and diversity between our sites… #LivingSeawall #SERCWest #Surveys #SFBay

We love being part of this amazing project with @SFPort! Thank you @saltshenanigans for your commitment to being in the water with the team!

Last day of monitoring this week! Our tiles have been out for 9 months now and it’s exciting to see the growth and changes that have occurred since the spring! #LivingSeawall #Surveys #SFBay #SERCWest #SouthBeachHarbor

San Francisco's Aging Infrastructure Isn't Ready for Its Wetter Future

“Our infrastructure is not designed for these big storms, and we’re never going to really be able to design it to handle them,” @krislmay @climatepathways

We continue to break records, but not the kinds of records we want to break. Ocean water temps are getting warmer. #ClimateActionNow #oceans https://t.co/EYCHy0c9TJ

More waves crashing over the shoreline between Pier 14 and the Bay Bridge. Bay water levels were 2 feet below mean higher high tide. So imagine if this occurred at high tide. Now imagine 2 more feet of sea level rise.

The waves crashing over the shoreline and into the Embarcadero Promenade were epic during yesterday’s bomb cyclone! Photo taken by Stephen Reel, @SFPort

Great to talk on @KQEDForum about how the SF Bay Area is preparing and not preparing for sea level rise with @sfbcdc's Dana Brechwald & @KrisLMay @ClimatePathways.

@lesleywmcclurg and callers asked some great questions?

https://t.co/7gszCrtshl

[Pathways Climate Institute @ClimatePathways]

Tune in today at 9 am PT and listen to @KrisLMay, @ezraromero, and @sfbcdc discuss how the Bay Area is getting ready for climate change and the challenges we face as sea levels and the groundwater table rise.

We don’t have time to wait! We need to address compound flooding.

[Dr. Kris May @KrisLMay]

We need to consider sea level rise, extreme storms, and rising groundwater! Listen to @yourcallradio’s recent piece on their One Planet series with myself and Co-PI Ellen Plane @sfei_asc. #climatecrisis https://t.co/AnDrdeoCj6

[Dr. Kris May @KrisLMay]

Rising groundwater has already come for my basement…
