Date/Time: Wednesday, Nov. 5 | 2 pm PT

Speakers: Allison Agsten, USC Annenberg Center for Climate Journalism and Communication

About: It’s never been more important to strengthen public support for the critical science that benefits society and our responses to climate change. In this webinar, Allison Agsten, Director of the Center for Climate Journalism and Communication at the University of Southern California Annenberg, will share practical steps for engaging with the media to communicate the value and impact of your science. Allison will walk through steps to find the story in your research, connect with media contacts, pitch your story and prepare for an interview. Join us and learn how to effectively share your stories with the public as an engaged scientist. Co-sponsored by the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE?

Managing the Ecological Impacts of Extreme Heat in the Northwest

Date/Time: Wednesday, Aug. 27 | 11 am PT

Speakers: Eva Colberg and Scott Kalafatis, NW Climate Adaptation Science Center

About: In this webinar, the NW CASC’s Deep Dive team presented a review of current knowledge and practice around climate-driven extreme heat events and their impacts on Northwest species and ecosystems, focused on the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave. This synthesis is the result of the NW CASC’s 2025 Deep Dive workshop, which convened natural resource managers and scientists from Northwest Tribes, universities, non-profit and private sectors, and federal and state governments to review what is currently known (and unknown) about managing Northwest species and ecosystems in the face of future extreme heat events.

CLIMATE RESOURCES ROUNDUP

Taking stock of available resources for understanding and responding to climate risks in Washington and the Northwest

Date/Time: Thursday, Oct. 16 | 1 pm PT

Speakers: Meade Krosby, NW Climate Adaptation Science Center and Guillaume Mauger, Washington State Climate Office

About: Given concerns about the continued availability of federal climate information, tools and technical support, this webinar reviewed a range of reliable, regional resources for supporting climate preparedness in Washington and the Northwest. Bonus material: Watch Meade Krosby speaking at the 2025 Climate Education Series regarding the National Climate Assessment
