Climate Justice Webinar Series

Author(s): Simone Domingue
Year: 2023

Climate justice directly connects to previously-researched areas by SCIPP, including disaster resilience and climate change adaptation, in increasingly meaningful ways. Therefore, Simone Domingue, a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for SCIPP, hosted a series of webinars and conversations to raise awareness of climate justice’s significance in future adaptation. The webinars offered actionable ideas for participants to bring back to their communities for proactive planning. A summary report was created and provides panelist details, webinar resources, and webinar evaluation highlights.

Weather and Climate Impacts on Military Operations Workshop Summary

Author(s): Margret Boone, Leah Kos, Mark Shafer
Year: 2019

In September of 2018, representatives from six Oklahoma military installations along with members of the weather and climate research community across the University of Oklahoma participated in a Weather and Climate Impacts on Military Operations workshop.  The workshop focused on learning about the missions and operations of each military installation, how climate and weather events impact these operations, and how the latest technology, research, measurements, and operations could be harnessed to help address weather-related concerns at their military installations. The meeting identified the need to hold similar discussions with national facilities, more in-depth discussion about potential tools that could be developed and applied, more discussion bout economic impacts, and continued collaboration among the participants.
