Jane Baldwin on Modeling Climate Change Hazards
05/16/23 • 22 min
We are continuing our collaboration between Carry the Two and the American Geophysical Union’s Third Pod from the Sun with another episode!
Jane Baldwin’s research centers issues of equity when it comes to understanding climate change’s impact on the global population. In this episode, we hear how Jane gets clever with data sources to better understand risk and vulnerability to tropical cyclones in the Philippines and discusses the importance of building useful climate models.
And don’t forget to listen to Jane’s work through a geophysical lens, over at Third Pod from the Sun!

Maike Sonnewald on Modeling Oceanic Currents
Welcome to the first episode of Carry the Two’s collaboration with the American Geophysical Union’s Third Pod from the Sun!
In this episode, we get our feet wet with physical oceanographer, Maike Sonnewald. Maike explains how the ocean currents interplay with our warming atmosphere and what that means for our climate. Using machine learning to build climate models, Maike analyzes how things like greenhouse gases are warming our oceans and changing the pattern of currents.
And don’t forget to listen to Maike’s work through a geophysical lens, over at Third Pod from the Sun!

Kristie Ebi on Climate Change & Global Health
Turn on the news during the spring and you’ll hear how seasonal allergies are being made worse by climate change. But it turns out the seasonal sniffles are some of the smallest health consequences of our rapidly shifting climate. Droughts and floods don’t just damage the local ecosystem, they also have real, measurable effects on human health. In this episode of Carry the Two, we hear from University of Washington’s Kristie Ebi, who has helped lead research on the health impacts of climate change.
And don’t forget to listen to Kristie’s work through a geophysical lens, over at Third Pod from the Sun!
