Abstract: Climate change enhances and creates risks. Identifying and implementing sound climate risk management strategies involves many challenges, including deep and dynamic uncertainties, complex feedbacks between climate and socioeconomic systems, and the different scales on which different risk management strategies operate. In this talk, I will describe several ways in which climate change affects risk calculation, why uncertainty plays a critical role in climate risk analysis, and different approaches to climate risk management.

Abstract:

New York State passed climate change legislation in 2019, including the creation of a statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) budget from natural and working lands, including inland waters. This work examines GHG emissions and storage in inland water wetlands, which are not yet included in state efforts but are of interest to NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Office of Climate Change. We focus specifically on open-water wetlands (i.e., ponds), which are naturally...

Perspectives in Global Development: Spring 2023 Seminar Series

Many reports have been published over the last four years on the urgent need to reconfigure food systems for resilience, sustainability and equity in the face of climate change. But little information is available on the potential costs involved. One such report, based on extensive consultation and published in 2020, set out eleven actions identified as being required to accomplish this. Using existing literature, we estimated the annual cost of implementing these eleven actions to be USD 1.3 trillion. Half of this is...

Equine veterinary medicine presents many challenges because of the size and athleticism of our patients. Therefore, examination requires creative thinking in order to get the best diagnostic and prognostic information. Endoscopy allows us to view multiple regions of the horse and provides us an ‘up close’ look. The Cornell Hospital for Animals has recently re-invested in equipment that improves these abilities. Multiple examples will be shown of the utility of this technology.

Join us for an information session to learn more about the new cycle of Migrations grants, open to all PI-eligible faculty across colleges and schools. Faculty-led programs and centers within the university are also welcome to apply. 

The Cornell Migrations codirectors will address questions about priorities,...
