Sometimes on 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘑𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴, I get distracted by new topics, and sometimes that's a good thing! This week's episode is about the science and statistics of podcast networks, where we talk about a research paper describing how guests and ideas spread to different shows. While different from my typical natural hazards focus, I thought this was a really cool blend of data science and podcast analytics. Available everywhere you get your podcasts (and at link in my bio)!
Coastal residents and city planners, it's time to prepare! We discuss risk tolerance in building. Consider low emissions for structures that aren't critical.
Much of our sea level rise is baked in for the next 10-20 years. But continued emissions will worsen impacts past 2050. I discuss the importance of cutting emissions to mitigate future sea level rise. Full episodes at link in bio!
We explore the prediction of a foot of sea level rise by 2050 across the United States and reveal how it varies by region. Discover which coastal areas, like the Gulf Coast, will be most affected. Full video at link in bio!
"Majority of my research was post-stroke neuro-based and analyzing their return to function. After a stroke you want to do pretty intensive therapy because the first 2 years are critical in what you're going to recover and regain ability"... Full episodes of "Rocks for Jocks" at link in bio!
