It's official! Last month I successfully defended my dissertation and this week I turned in my final written thesis 🥲

I couldn't be more grateful to everyone who made this journey possible, and I'm thrilled to start this next chapter as an NPP Fellow at @NASAGISS!

@SCamargo @DRIScience Thank you Suzana!!

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Incredibly honored to have received this year’s Wagner Memorial Award for my paper deriving “stickiness” (linked below) and very grateful to all those who made my visit to @DRIScience so special!

@PaleoRoss @DRIScience Thanks Ross!!

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

@SCamargo @NASAGISS That's so kind, thank you so much Suzana! So happy I'll still be right around the corner :)

This week on #TheClimateDivide, we explore new ways to warn about extreme heat in D.C. 🌡️

Discover the “stickiness” weather variable and NWS’s HeatRisk tool. With record 90° days, staying informed is crucial. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

@mikejgr That's great to hear! All the code necessary to calculate stickiness from temperature and specific humidity is available on my github page: https://t.co/Q58boKhOtR

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Very exciting and comprehensive coverage of our new variable “stickiness” from @AGU_Eos! Thanks so much for the interview 🌡️

[AGU's Eos @AGU_Eos]

It's hot and sticky across much of the US today. But just how sticky? A new "stickiness variable" quantifies how we experience humid, hot days. https://t.co/i7Bm3sZGYS

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Had the opportunity to speak with Austyn about our new variable “stickiness” for today’s @nytclimate Climate Forward newsletter! Thanks so much for the feature on how stickiness could be used in both physical science and impacts applications!

[Austyn Gaffney @AustynGaffney]

Day 2 as a reporting fellow on the @nytclimate desk and first day writing the Climate Forward newsletter!

Everything's heating up; send tips/pitches/ideas/etc to austyn.gaffney [at] https://t.co/vLdsB7AduW

@deepak_malghan Thank you Deepak! I'm so glad you can envision some helpful applications!

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

@maddyjorr Thanks Madeleine, I'm so glad you think it will be useful!

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

@esgarchitect Thank you Graham!

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

@baylorfk @regclimo @AMS_atmos Yes, great point! As Colin mentioned, we discussed a few different options but "parchy" and "clammy" are also incredible suggestions

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

In what is likely the peak of my scientific career, we created a new variable!

If you’ve ever struggled to quantify the different drivers of extreme humid heat, take a look at our new article on “stickiness” in @AMS_atmos 🧵1/9

@rogercreel Thank you Roger!! 🥲

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Many thanks to @profadamsobel @radleyhorton and @regclimo for their contributions to this quirky project! 9/9

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Our primary derivation is based on wet bulb temperature, but we also derive versions using moist static energy and Humidex. Additionally, we provide the code necessary for readers to apply these methods to any humid heat metric of choice. 8/9
