Congratulations to Dr. Luke Flory, Professor and invasive plant ecologist in the Department of Agronomy, for his selection as 2021 Florida Climate Institute Distinguished Faculty Fellow and Dr. Katy Serafin, Assistant Professor and coastal scientist in the Department of Geography, for her selection as 2021 UF Early Career Florida Climate Institute Faculty Fellow!

The Florida Climate Institute’s Collaborative Climate Research Fellowship Program is accepting applications - the deadline to apply is October 22, 2021.

The program aims to provide opportunities for UF faculty to broaden their climate-related research scope and develop collaboration among the international faculty community. This fellowship helps foster the development of innovative, interdisciplinary research projects and publications that will help find solutions to the global, complex challenges facing society.

Meeting ID: 988 2879 9198. Passcode: SNRE21

As a result of climate change, extreme events such as floods, wildfires, storms, and heat waves are already becoming more dangerous and destructive. Marshall Shepherd (University of Georgia) will moderate a conversation with Craig Fugate (former FEMA Administrator) and Marissa Aho (Washington State Department of Natural Resources) about the connections between climate change and extreme events, and about how communities and governments at different scales can plan for and become more resilient to the risks from extreme events today and into the future.

The conversation will be webcast on the Climate Conversations webpage on Wednesday, September 15, 2021 from 3-4 pm ET. Closed captioning will be provided. The conversation will include questions from the audience, and will be recorded and available to view after the event.

Details and registration available online.

The Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association and Resiliency Florida present the 1st Annual Florida Resilience Conference on September 16th, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm, co-located with FSBPA’s 64th Annual Conference at the Opal Grand Resort in Delray Beach.

This will be the first of many conferences that explore statewide resilience issues holistically, from agriculture to transportation to water issues and everything in between. In-person and virtual attendance options are available.

King Tides (the highest predicted tides of the year) normally occur a few times per year and often cause nuisance flooding in coastal and low-lying areas. More severe flooding may result if King Tides coincide with bad weather conditions such as heavy rains, strong winds or big waves. However, sea level rise is causing these tides to happen more frequently, to last longer and extend further inland than in the past.

Based on NOAA's tide predictions, King Tides will occur on the following dates this fall:
