SCRiM Seminar: The TopoWx Gridded Temperature Dataset: Modeling Spatiotemporal Variability of Air Temperature across the Conterminous United States
Tuesday 9 February 2016117 EES Building, Penn State University
High-resolution gridded temperature products are critical inputs to assessments of climate impacts on local hydrology, ecosystem processes, and biotic communities. However, there has been little formal analysis on the ability of these products to accurately capture temporal variability and trends in local climate. Here, I will review the development of a new gridded daily temperature dataset aimed at improving spatial and temporal representations of air temperature at the topoclimatic spatial scale, the scale at which air temperature is influenced by local topography and land surface properties. From a spatial perspective, I will first examine how remotely sensed land skin temperature can be used as a key covariate in spatial interpolations of air temperature. Second, I will examine how homogenization algorithms are critical for reducing significant temporal biases in gridded topoclimatic air temperature, especially in the complex terrain of the western U.S. Lastly, I will summarize the current state of topoclimate products in the U.S. and how they can be further improved to meet the needs of local climate impact assessments and adaptation decision-making.

Energy and Environmental Economics and Policy seminar: Adapting to Catastrophe: Living in a Warmer World
Wednesday 14 October 2015157 Hosler Building, Penn State University
A driving concern about global warming is that it might lead to a climate related catastrophe. This talk discusses two of those catastrophes: “Melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet” and “Ecosystem Collapse” and discusses how we could possibly survive these events. The talk combines science and e”conomics to first understand the nature of these events and then to discuss adaptation. Although the cumulative consequence of either event involves enormous change, in practice, these changes are expected to unfold slowly. By gradually changing ecosystem and coastal management over time, society can cope. Nonetheless, there will be some challenges that require thinking outside the box.
