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!
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!

Climate science PhD student @ccivanovich of @Columbia@columbiaclimate@LamontEarth explains how extreme heat affects big cities and some possible solutions. Via Now, Let's Talk: https://t.co/psqK1jZ6Zk
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
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
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!
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

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

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
