I study post-fire flood risk in Southern California | Postdoctoral Fellow @ChapmanU | Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering | Climate Activist | she/her

[Ariane Jong-Levinger @floodafterfire]

Ever wonder why mudslides often happen after wildfires? I made a 4-minute video explaining how flood and debris flow risks can get worse after fires for general audiences!

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

Time-lapse compilation from the Orange County #AirportFire burning up to the Santiago Peak infrastructure captured by ALERTCalifornia this AM. Cameras are still functional - check live conditions at https://t.co/VE8yb96bx2, follow @OCFireAuthority & @ClevelandNF for updates.

Remarkable images from Santiago Peak fire cams as comms site there overrun by #AirportFire. Appears that cameras may have been within a few yards of a significant fire whirl... #CAfire

A SoCal resident survey reveals a tendency to discount the proximity of fire/flood/mudslide hazards (spatial optimism). However, experience with one hazard increases perceptions of others. Work in E&B led by Doug Houston and @operezfi @Social_Ecology

New article 🔥 with an amazing interdisciplinary team, including Dr. Houston, @UCIFloodLab, @floodafterfire, and Dr. Schubert, on why understanding multi-hazard perceptions is crucial for emergency preparation and hazard mitigation: https://t.co/oOltJRYZb0

How can we estimate the effects of wildfire on flood risk vis-à-vis infrastructure clogging w/ sediment? Our new paper in WRR presents a method for calibrating and validating a model that helps flood agencies identify undersized infrastructure @UCIFloodLab

I'm recruiting a postdoc in climate and land stewardship to start this fall! Candidates with experience in ecology, semi-arid ecosystems, and Indigenous knowledges are encouraged to apply. @UCIEEB Please RT. https://t.co/Jr1VdgmABV

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

If I were polling people on the likelihood of blowing past the Paris targets, I wouldn't ask climate scientists:
I'd poll CEOs, elected officials, and leaders, at every scale. I'd ask WHY they felt that way. And I'd want those answers shared.

A look at #Silverado Creek with only a couple inches of #rain - and heavier rain expected this afternoon. Stay far back from creeks & riverbeds during heavy rain as they can be life-threatening. #OrangeCounty

[NWS Los Angeles @NWSLosAngeles]

‼️EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION UNFOLDING IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS AREA AND AROUND THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS‼️ Life threatening landslides and additional flash flooding expected overnight tonight. Avoid travel if at all possible. #LArain #CAwx #Socal #Californiastorm

Most of the rain associated with this impressive early season storm will stay over the Pacific Northwest, but significant rainfall is likely in the active wildfire zone in far NW CA and lighter precip could briefly make it as far south as SF/Sacramento. #CAwx #CAfire
