Spotlight: New AMS Policy Study | | |
|
|
“Chicago" by Danielle Williams | | | |
Recently published by the AMS Policy Program, The Intersection of Socioeconomic Status & Climate Change Risks & Hazards in the United States Great Lakes Region: An Intern Report details the strong interactions between socioeconomic status (SES) and climate change impacts and vulnerabilities: climate change is widespread and exacerbates existing socioeconomic inequalities. The report analyzes this relationship within the context of the United States Great Lakes Region to better understand how socioeconomic factors and climate change risks and hazards interact in a region that heavily relies on its natural resources. This region includes 21 percent of the world’s fresh water, relying on the lakes for a majority of industries, jobs, and income. As climate change progresses, resources and natural processes may continue to be impacted and scarcities will likely become more common, posing challenges throughout the region, especially for individuals subjected to socioeconomic inequalities.

"Controlling or preventing floods during the wet months and ensuring water supply during the dry months are essential for our livelihood. To accomplish these goals we need robust scientific understanding of water movement in the atmosphere and at the Earth’s surface, as well as observational and forecasting capabilities. I find the field of hydrometeorology offers the opportunity to do both."
—Edwin Sumargo, University of California, San Diego, whose BAMS article describes a hydrometeorological observation network aimed at advancing our understanding of the processes driving extreme precipitation and runoff in the U.S. West Coast. Read more of his interview in your August 2021 print or digital BAMS.

AMS Glossary Word of the Month |
The particular geopotential surface that most nearly coincides with the mean level of the oceans of the earth.
For mapping purposes it is customary to use an ellipsoid of revolution as an adequate and convenient approximation to the geoid. The dimensions and orientation of the assumed ellipsoid may represent an attempt to find the ellipsoid that most nearly fits the geoid as a whole, or they may represent an attempt to fit only a particular part of the geoid without regard to the remainder of it.
