Jessica Blyth, online at my hybrid lab team meeting.
I feel honoured that Brock scholar (and fellow Newfoundlander) Prof Jessica Blyth agreed to spend the morning of her big new Nature paper launch, The Ocean Equity Index, talking about that work with my lab here at SRES. Starting with some of the most beautiful slides, we had a rich discussion of the approach, utility and opportunities their new tool represents. Thank you, Jessica!
One of the better titles I’ve seen recently is for a recent article in The Narwhal by Xavi Richer Viz, What’s scarier for Canadian communities — floods, or flood maps? It’s an open question, as far as I can tell. Richer Viz tells some interesting stories about public push-back in various locations after the release of flood risk mapping, putting Canada decades behind other jurisdictions with respect to such public interest information. I enjoyed my conversation with Richer Viz, telling him about the situation in Nova Scotia and sharing some of the research done with recent MES Samantha Howard.
