🌍 George Mason University is at the forefront of tackling climate change's impact on public health. With a $3.69M The National Institutes of Health grant, the Research and Engagement for Action in Climate and Health (REACH) Center brings together George Mason experts from across the university, including Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Earth scientists Jim Kinter and Daniel Tong, alongside partners from The George Washington University, Howard University, and the Environmental Defense Fund. The center's goal is to improve public health, especially in underserved areas, through data-driven solutions developed by experts from various fields. With this project, local leaders will have access to valuable climate information, and it will also facilitate new research that combines health and the environment.

The Northern Virginia Regional Commission has issued an RFP for a contractor who will develop design rainfall depths for communities in Northern Virginia that account for climate change projections. Using the Mid-Atlantic Climate Adaptation Partnership's Intensity Duration and Frequency (IDF) curve tool, the contractor will develop a regional resilient design guidelines that provides change factors to scale design storm depths accounting for recent and projected changes in the region's climate. The contractor will use the updated precipitation data to provide decision-making support in the form of case studies, cost of adaptation versus inaction, and climate scenario guidance intended to assist local governments in planning stormwater management systems that are designed for the current and future climate. Submissions due December 6 by 5PM. https://lnkd.in/e6mbxwjB
TOMORROW: Our webinar introducing DC Water & HUBER Technology US & CA's successful efforts with a more climate resilient heat conveyance system and a discussion on how this can benefit Virginians, as well. We hope to see you there! Register below 👇
Virginia Climate Voices Blog: VCC's Luis Ortiz, Ph.D. gives us an inside look at how our experts and students collected temperature data on a scorching hot day in August. The data will be used to help local planners create & reform extreme heat mitigation strategies. 👏 https://lnkd.in/eBdqfibF
