Entire suburban neighborhoods were burned to the ground so that all that remained was twisted metal and brick chimneys.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>There was no fighting this fire, it was too windy.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The focus was evacuation only and while most humans made it out, two didn’t, and several pets were unable to be saved as people fled in the middle of embers and smoke flying by at 90mph.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Some of the most beautiful houses in the city burned one by one.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>My dear friend Shelley’s neighborhood was at the end of one finger of fire and she lost everything while she drove back from Christmas break in Wisconsin.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Another friend’s house was spared as the fire burned everyone across the pond from them, but spared their side.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Raymond, my fire photographing friend, was given ample notice before he was evacuated. They were afraid the Avista hospital would go up in smoke and he was just downwind of it.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;

A team of us at MSU Denver renovated our General Studies program beginning in June of 2018. In the end I couldn't seem to give up control of the program we had built, but hadn't yet implemented, so I've become the Director of General Studies. This is a brand new position at MSU Denver and this should help build a new era of program cohesiveness as we continue to strive to educate the students of MSU Denver in the best way possible. Luckily for me, I still get to see my students and be half-professor-half-director and I'm still teaching two classes, MTR 1600 Global Climate Change (General Studies course) and MTR 3450 Dynamic Meteorology. My advisory board and I are just nailing down a few important details before we start training faculty and collecting data on student learning in the spring. <br />

I was there Sunday until Thursday and I'm afraid if I let the semester start before I take some time to process the trip, I might forget all of the great things I learned.<br />
<br />
I flew out early Sunday morning and not only was everyone on my bus going to AMS from Boulder, but we joined even more of them on the plane to Austin. It was great seeing an old professor I used to TA for, a good friend, and I even sat next to an old student. My friend Keren and I were at the same hotel and went and grabbed some smoked brisket tacos at Cedar Door. <br />

The first highlight was a fantastic talk by Richard Alley Sunday afternoon, the Presidential Forum, titled "Transforming Communication in the Environmental Sciences: Some thoughts from a reluctant participant." Richard pointed out how old the science of climate change is compared to that of the science of your smart phone. <br />
<br />

Her title was, "Analyzing the frequency of high amplitude wave patterns and their relationship with extreme weather events in the U.S." We used NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data since 2048 and calculated the waviness by finding the sinuosity. We looked for seasonality and trends and found a very insignificant 1% increase in sinuosity. Weather patterns had become more stagnant, though, particularly in the winter. <br />

Because I had a late lunch, I started what would become a theme-- no sit-down meal, but a protein shake from the grocery store for a really late dinner. <br />
<br />
<u>Monday</u> I attended some talks on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation bright and early. By 10:30 I had made my way to literally the furthest room from where I had started to hear Richard Alley speak about glaciology using an excellent pancake analogy, a potato chip analogy, and a flying buttress analogy. He discussed how he contributed some knowledge about these cliffs of ice calving to the glacier modelers. Of course this is extremely complex, but his talk was really about trying to understand the low-probability, but high impact of extreme sea level rise due to Antarctic ice loss. <br />
<br />
I was in for a real treat, the next speaker was Lonnie Thompson, speaking about ice cores in the Himalayas. I read a great book about Lonnie a while back called "Thin Ice." Of course I had to miss the last 5 minutes to run back across the entire conference center, down 4 flights of stairs, go across the street and up 6 flights for another climate variability talk on hemispheric waviness by Jessica Taheri and Jon Martin.<br />
<br />
Lunch time rolled around and there was another presidential forum, this time on the 2017 hurricane season. At this point I was glad I had a granola bar and some other snacks in my bag because this 90 minute session was riveting and there was no way I was leaving for lunch. The m<span style="color: var(--yt-primary-text-color); white-space: pre-wrap;">oderator was </span><span style="color: var(--yt-primary-text-color); white-space: pre-wrap;">Marshall Shepherd, head of NWS </span><span style="color: var(--yt-primary-text-color); white-space: pre-wrap;">Louis Uccellini, </span><span style="color: var(--yt-primary-text-color); white-space: pre-wrap;">Response, Recovery and Future Mitigation by</span><br />

The video below starts with Ada's talk, which had me in tears when she spoke about Maria's impact on Puerto Rico and all of her outreach. I've started the video below on her talk, although you can scoot back to the others as well if you'd like. The whole 90 minutes are well worth watching. </yt-formatted-string></div>

<br />
After this was the session on the Climate Science Special Report. One of the themes of this session is for a 66% chance of preventing 2 degrees C global warming, we must stay below 800Gt carbon. If we assume a pathway of 4.5W/m2, which is less than the path we are currently on (we're on the RCP path 8.5), that means we have 20 years before we have to stop entirely. More at <a href="https://science2017.globalchange.gov/">https://science2017.globalchange.gov/</a>. This session closed with good information on blocking patterns and jet stream patterns from Judith Perlwitz and more from Patrick Taylor. <br />
<br />
I then headed to the poster session where alum Katie Steinmann was presenting a poster on her Master's research and fellow professor Rich Wagner was presenting on his GLOBE project. The poster session had ice cream and popcorn, which was very welcome after only snacking for lunch. The Exhibit hall opened at 6 and I got a call from a friend who was ill in Austin and needed some help. I finally got to eat my first meal of the day at 8:30, again at Cedar Door, with friend Katie. <br />
<br />
<u>Tuesday</u><br />
Tuesday started off with a session on jets and storm tracks and included information about the narrowing of the northern hemisphere jet in the winter by Magnussdotir. She spoke about the tug of war between Arctic warming at the surface and upper level tropical warming. Melissa Breeden spoke about wintertime blocking. <br />
<br />
I got to go to lunch with my friend Jen from University of Hawaii. Jen was with me in Morocco last year for the UN meeting. It was nice catching up!<br />
<br />
After lunch I attended a session for broadcast meteorologists on communicating climate change. Kevin Trenberth discussed rainfall in hurricane Harvey and the relationship to climate change, Katherine Hayhoe talked about communicating climate change, and others in this session had some neat things to say. Unfortunately, I had to run off to the poster session before Denver 7's Mike Nelson spoke, but I heard it was fantastic and my students loved it. <br />

The two of them and I have been working this past fall on a project. Jenny presented her part of the research on Sunday at the student conference, but Shauna had her precipitation-centered version of the project Tuesday. We were happy to have some familiar faces walk by, including the person whose idea it was to use sinuosity as a measure of waviness, Dr. Jon Martin from University of Wisconsin. <br />

Tuesday night was alumni night. I hit the Wisconsin alumni meet up in the Hilton right away at 6:00 and met up with an old friend from undergrad, Jess. We spotted another gal from our year, Holly. Fellow professor Rich Wagner is also an alum, as were a few other friends. The food was fantastic. I then rushed off to Buffalo Billiards for the MSU Denver alumni get together. We had a few loyal alumni from the 80's show up, our students, and a few that have graduated more recently. It was fun to catch up with them and see how things are going at their jobs and graduate programs! Here's a group photo, just missing two people. The music was so loud, I was afraid I was going to lose my voice, fighting off a cold or some allergies all week, so I headed home around 10:30.<br />

Over lunch I practiced my talk and enjoyed a protein shake. My talk was in a session on innovative teaching in dynamics courses. I've taught dynamics for seven years and this past fall I tried a new computer programming project that I presented on. My students came to my talk and it was nice making eye contact with them, it calmed me a bit because the room was filled with so many people I look up to! In fact my advisor spoke right after me! There were some other really great talks in my session and I came away with lots of ideas. <br />
<br />
Wednesday night my students left for Denver and we took down the student chapter poster (below). I was very proud of my students all week, they really represented the school well. Thanks to student activities for funding most of them to go!<br />

Wednesday night was the awards banquet. The gluten free meal was pretty lackluster and I was just so disappointed that I had been in Austin for 4 days and had eaten out twice at the same restaurant. I vowed to make Thursday count! The banquet was pretty nice with lots of deserving awards. I headed home after a long, tiring day.<br />

I walked to Congress Ave to a cafe and then to the capitol. I enjoyed the inside of yet another capitol building with a giant dome. Seriously, how many are there? I continued past the capitol to the university where I saw the Tower. I continued past that down Guadalupe Street to Trudy's for lunch. I enjoyed a great Tex-Mex lunch of enchiladas (Thanks to Dr. Parr for the recommendation!) and walked back through campus another way. Campus is huge! I enjoyed the petroleum engineering building, the Gates computer building, and the canoe sculpture. I returned to the conference center just in time (8 miles later) for the final talk by Clara Deser on climate model projections from CESM. I then ran off to the airport for my flight and got home around 9pm. AMS was so tiring, but I had to be at work the next day for 3 big meetings. I worked all day Saturday from home and finished all of my syllabi and boy did I sleep! I'm finally ready for classes to start. <br />

Former student Shauna is leading our other poster, which will be similar, but more precipitation-focused. This one is Tuesday in Exhibit hall 3, 3:45-5:30 #559.<br />

Finally, I'm giving a talk on a programming project I did in my dynamics course in an education session focused on dynamics teaching. This is Wednesday at 2:30 in Ballroom C. The session goes from 1:30-3:45 if the topic interests you.

I made sure all EAS classes that morning had a supply of glasses. I also partnered with Student Activities (Thanks Diana Ibarra!) since we were both planning eclipse parties, why not join forces? Our Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society hosted a booth, the physics department hosted a booth, and student activities had their booths for handing out their 5,000 sets of MSU Denver eclipse glasses! Wow! I was able to print up a bunch of posters and tried to get some poor-man's viewers set up at our booth. Physics saved the day with some legit eclipse viewers! Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. <br />

It was a unique experience sharing glasses and sharing the experience with thousands of students on campus while many of my friends headed to Wyoming to experience totality. A student put it best, "I've never felt such a positive energy on this campus as I did during the eclipse!" I think it was worth staying behind to educate and spread the love of science, but I might have to head towards totality for the next one in 2024 in the eastern U.S.! <br />

We had professors, our EAS advisor Karen, students, alumni, and friends joining us in the march. The march was one of the most positive and uplifting events I've ever attended. Yes, us scientists are commonly introverted and not huge fans of crowds so we weren't your usual activist chanters. Yes it was raining and in some cases snowing that morning. Yes, we all are busy people and have things to do like piles of grading and revisions waiting for us back home, but thousands of science allies still came out to join the march. It was truly impressive. The police estimate that 13,000-15,000 marched with a total of about 20,000 attending at some point during the day. We arrived at the park around 9:55 and enjoyed many of the signs before the march started off to our right. We hopped in the long line and marched around downtown Denver in the wide streets that were graciously barricaded off for our safety. Thanks for the Denver police and the volunteers for keeping us safe! <br />

I had made a truffula tree from "The Lorax" that read, "I speak for the trees." It was a big hit and I probably smiled for 50 photos and had a bunch of kids photographed with it as well. I ran into many other Lorax fans throughout the morning as well. The speakers began at some point, including Mike Nelson and our governor, but I was too busy handing out stickers to every future-meteorologist I could find. We went through 200 stickers. I'd like to think that my truffula tree was my in to get people to smile at me.<br />

It fulfills the global diversity requirement as well as 3 credits of the science requirement for general studies. (Note for MTR majors-- this can't count for your global diversity, sorry!) It's an 8-week course that starts June 5, so we're done by July 29th. The course is set up as a series of videos with weekly quizzes, four country assignments, and a midterm and final. Here's a view of the schedule I used <i>last summer,</i> which I set up so students can always work one week ahead in case of a planned summer vacation. This means you could finish the course in seven weeks. I imagine this summer's schedule will look very similar, I just haven't created it yet. <br />

With the help of my university, I was able to attend for a week. I'd like to tell you a bit about the history behind the conference, the commentary I witnessed on concerns over Trump's impending presidency, what I took away from the conference, what it was like attending the conference, and a few images from the city of Marrakech. Feel free to jump around to whatever interests you. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Trump and the U.S.</b></h3>
The conference was two weeks long. The first week, November 8th, while I was still in Colorado teaching, the United States elected Donald Trump to be its new president. While as a professor I try not to be political and make my classrooms comfortable spaces for all walks of life, I think it is perfectly within my purview as a Meteorology Professor with a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science who teaches climate change to comment on Trump with regard to his stance on global warming. We have long known of Trump's ignorance on the topic. When creating my Massive Open Online Course, Denial101x through Edx two years ago, I even put a Trump-like character (it was hard to find matching hair) in my video based off of his Tweets that every time it was cold outside, that proved global warming was a hoax. <br />

Like most of the people in the United States (as proven by the popular vote, but also the record of polls leading up to the election), I was shocked that he had won, especially when my home state of Wisconsin was guilty of putting him over the top. I was devastated that all of the hard work that had been done to move climate change solutions forward would potentially soon be undone and I was so sad that I would be flying across the world to attend a UN climate policy conference under these circumstances. <br />
<br />
During the conference there was a variety of takes on a Trump presidency, from optimism that Obama has already set us off down the right path and no one can undo that, to anger that because of the selfishness of the American people, island nations will drown. Some called him "He who shall not be named" and others called him out directly. Others pinned their hopes on Trump's inconsistency, which we saw the week after when he said he had an open mind about climate change to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/us/politics/trump-new-york-times-interview-transcript.html">New York Times</a> after earlier vowing to pull out of the Paris Agreement straight away. <br />
<br />
My understanding of Paris under Trump: If president-elect Trump wants to pull out of the UN Paris agreement to reduce emissions, he cannot do so immediately, it would take 3-4 years. He can, as far as I understand it, fail to put money towards adaptation and recovery in the vulnerable countries, despite us promising to stand with the developed countries to give $100 billion a year between all of us developed countries. (That number seems unattainable anyway). He can also sit back and watch the goals go by without achieving them. Although the agreement is binding, there are no penalties in place like there was with Kyoto that I am aware of.<br />
<br />
Secretary of State John Kerry and Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor on climate, conservation and energy policy <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/senior-leadership/brian-deese">Brian Deese</a> had some excellent commentary on this that left me feeling optimistic. Jonathan Pershing, the U.S. delegate at the conference, also had some good things to say. <br />

<br />
I sat in the 4th row center for John Kerry's hour long press conference and I was in tears by the end after hearing how this had been a life long commitment for him. From John Kerry's speech: Secretary Kerry is confident in the future regardless of whether U.S. policy is implemented because of the market. The energy curve is bending toward sustainability. What we do today matters. We are not on a preordained path to disaster. This is a test of willpower, not capacity. <span style="text-align: center;"><i>No one should doubt the overwhelming majority of citizens of the United States who know climate change is happening and are determined to keep our commitment to the Paris Agreement.</i> As Kerry would know, issues look very different in office than they did on the campaign trail and he hopes Trump will consult with the climate scientists who have spent their entire lives studying this phenomena. Climate change shouldn't be a partisan issue. </span>This agreement leaves no country to weather the storm of climate change alone. <br />
<br />
Jonathan Pershing gave our 3-minute United States statement, which you should go read right now, <a href="https://unfccc.int/files/meetings/marrakech_nov_2016/application/pdf/usa_cop22cmp12cma1_hls.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> (we can play find the typo-- not for now). He said that 2.5 million people are employed in clean energy in the U.S. Our momentum is insurmountable, there is no stopping it. Sub-national entities, states and cities, are committed to doing what they can to address climate change.<br />
<br />
Brian Deese, representing the White House, was the most eloquent speaker of the week and he spelled out some very important, optimistic trends that you can find in this <a href="https://selectra.co.uk/sites/selectra.co.uk/files/pdf/Deep%20decarbonization.pdf" target="_blank">White House report</a> on mid-century strategy for deep decarbonization. He stated that economic growth and carbon emissions in the United States are decoupled, meaning we can grow without having carbon emissions go up. He discussed how we are already in a new clean energy economy, but that Obama's clean power plan is now in question, but that leading states and cities will continue down the right path. <br />
<br />
I'm taking Brian's comments and making them my own here. Think of California, are they going to be affected by Trump's decisions? No, they are going to continue decarbonizing and the market will follow. We can learn from each other, there is a scaling benefit for collective action. California is such a big market, why would car companies continue to make low mpg cars when they can sell us all the goodies they make for California? Trump has claimed he will put the coal miners back to work, but you can't have new coal when the market has no demand for coal, we've started the switch away and we won't go back. Governors and even cities are making pledges and have plans for implementation of Paris, regardless of national leadership. Think of who voted for Hillary Clinton, they are in the cities and some very important states on the coasts. They aren't just going to stop our forward momentum because of a change in national leadership, they are going to continue to make alliances with others to solve these problems. Even Texas is filled with wind power. That's not going to stop. The head of Kellogg was there as well and talked about how private companies have gone green and are making it a priority. They established the <a href="https://www.keystone.org/our-work/agriculture/midwest-row-crop-collaborative/" target="_blank">Midwest row crop collaborative</a>, a way to work on soil health and rid ourselves of the dead zone in the Gulf. They worked with farmers and never once had to mention climate change to get this rolling. We can do this on the backs of good businesses. The economic transition is underway.<br />
<br />
Other countries when making their 3-minute statements, mentioned Trump without mentioning his name. "A deal is a deal" said the representative from the Bahamas about the United States. Other small island countries were very vocal as well. Many offered condolences to Haiti who had just been hit weeks earlier by Hurricane Matthew. <br />
<br />
On the final night, Fiji, who will be hosting the next COP in Bonn, Germany, because they cannot fit 20,000 people on their island, made some <a href="http://www.climatechangenews.com/2016/11/18/pacific-islands-climate-trump/">very bold comments about Trump</a>. After acknowledging the U.S. role in helping them in World War II, the prime minister of Fiji said, "I say to the American people: <i>you came to save us then and it is time for you to help save us now</i>." <i>He said he will invite Trump to the island so he can see climate change impacts first hand as sea level rises</i>. To that I say, good luck to the Prime Minister of Fiji! <br />

<br />
The UNFCCC met the first time in Rio in 1992, "The Earth Summit" where it was established that global warming was an issue worth studying at the United Nations level and they would strive for an international policy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Since then my people, the scientists, have created thousands of pages of reports based on peer reviewed literature that show that there is no doubt that climate change since 1950 is caused by humans. In 1997 the United Nations (UNFCCC) negotiated the Kyoto Protocol with the help of Al Gore, our vice president at the time under Bill Clinton, and known advocate for the environment. This protocol would require nations to reduce emissions to below 1990 levels and for developed countries, there would be consequences of not achieving these emission reductions. Vice President Gore came home and asked congress to support the U.S. ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and their answer was a collective, "Are you kidding me?" They were upset that developing countries like India, China, and Brazil only had voluntary emissions reductions and Russia had probably already achieved pre-1990 levels just because of fall of the Soviet Union. If the U.S. was going to reduce carbon emissions, we were going to do it on our own terms, not having to pay fines to the United Nations. While I almost agree with their unanimous decision to leave Al high and dry, to this day they never followed through on their end of the bargain of solving the issue internally even though many bipartisan proposals existed. I particularly liked the McCain Lieberman proposal back in the day. <br />
<br />
After a few years of setting hottest year on record, record sea ice loss in the Arctic, and record melt on Greenland and now Antarctica, Obama showed up at COP 21 in Paris last year and signed us on to the Paris Agreement, an agreement very different from Kyoto. Every country creates its own goals (INDCs) and there don't appear to be any formal ways of penalizing countries for not achieving these goals. I imagine it was planned this way so that Obama didn't have to get his republican, largely climate-change-denying congress to approve of of his signature to the United Nations-binding agreement. Obama had set his own climate change goals back in 2013 and we were already on our way towards achieving them through the Environmental Protection Agency and other means. He also made agreements with the Chinese government that both of our countries will mutually reduce emissions.<br />

The King of Morocco attended the conference for a day on Tuesday along with several foreign dignitaries. Each country made a 3-minute statement which usually went something like, "Congrats to the COP president on being president, thanks to the King of Morocco for his hospitality, good job on the Paris agreement, congrats again, thank you again." When countries actually said something of substance, it was quite interesting! Palestine, for example, used about 9 minutes to very brazenly ask for help in trying to overcome environmental indecencies put upon them by Israel. I was excited to see a woman speaking for Iran claiming they had ratified the Paris agreement only three days ago and talked about dust storms. Sweden boasted of being the largest per-capita contributor to the green climate fund. The European Union said we are on the right side of history and that the biggest burden for the Paris Agreement should fall on the broadest shoulders. The woman from The Gambia claimed much of its country is within 2.5 meters of sea level and needed help.</div>

Bolivia and India kept the closing ceremony from moving forward due to this and they went into further negotiations, putting everything on hold yet again at 11:30pm Friday night. They plead out of desperation for more action on this, and it was decided that no decision would be made that night, so it was noted for discussion at COP23 in Bonn hosted by Fiji. </div>

My fellow observer and I had been at the conference since a 9:00am meeting and we were totally exhausted. We finally left the closing ceremony around 1:00 in the morning. The closing ceremony finally let out at 3am. My flight was at 7:30 the next morning, so I got a good two hours of sleep after packing. It was quite the experience and I am still processing everything I learned and putting my notebook full of notes and videos into context. We also went paperless by using this little high-five device called a poken, which is filled with all of the info from the booths I visited.</div>

It was very different from anything I have ever attended. As a scientist, I learned a ton about policy, but also found myself sometimes lost in what I'll call lawyer-speak. I laughed out loud at one economist who had just explained his solution to the economics of the Paris Agreement when someone asked him how we could communicate that complex solution to the public. He humbly explained that sometimes he has a hard enough time understanding these complexities himself, so he will leave the communication to others. I'm used to AGU conferences where there is a light up front that keeps the schedule to the minute. The talks are so tight that you can plan your entire day to a T and see everything you want if you walk fast enough. This was nothing like that. I'd plan my day to a T and then people would be delayed half an hour, press conferences would just be flat out cancelled, the schedule would come out the morning of, and some talks I was not able to get into (for parties, not observers). It became frustrating at times, but in the end thanks to my fellow observers Jen and Aparna, we simply found it funny and made the most of it. The very last day we arrived at 9am only to find out that the main part of the conference wasn't going to start until 3. That turned into 5, which turned into 7:30, which was then delayed due to more negotiations after a short presentation. This all kept me from doing much touristing, I only got into the city itself on the day I flew in (Sunday) and another few hours one afternoon when we knew there was a break, I think Thursday, it is a bit of a sleepless blur. Marrakech was an interesting place!<br />

I also wanted to plug the excellent new Leonardo DiCaprio documentary, "Before the Flood." I had an opportunity to pre-screen it on October 26th with about 90 students/faculty on my campus and the movie was very well done and quite moving. It's possibly still freely available for you to watch through a variety of streaming platforms (on your TV, look at the on demand options from National Geographic Channel).<br />

I discussed ways to use our climate change myth-debunking MOOC videos as a resource and how I use them in my college courses.

If you are attending the <b><a href="https://ams.confex.com/ams/96Annual/webprogram/25EDUCATION.html">AMS conference in New Orleans</a></b>, I'm presenting on how these videos can be particularly useful for meteorologists who may lack formal climate change communication training, yet are forced to interact with the public about the topic regularly. <b>My talk is Tuesday at 2:45 in Room 353</b>. If you are an educator, you might as well plop yourself in that room all afternoon! My friend Mark Seefeldt has put together quite the program for us. I am co-authoring a talk at 2:00 in the same room. At 3:30 there's a talk by this year's AMS Teaching Excellence award winner, my old dynamics professor and author of the dynamics text book I use, Dr. Jon Martin. It should be an interesting afternoon!</div>

We had such an awesome experience! Although I don't have time to write up the details right now, I want to drop some pictures here. We had amazing weather due to the massive drought affecting the western US and Alaska this year. <br />

On May 28 I set off to Seattle where I got in a full day of exactly what I wanted: quality time with one of my best friends from high school while eating seafood at the Crab pot and exploring the fish throwing and fresh flowers of Pikes Place. I bought some wine for the ship and that night I got gluten free lobster macaroni and cheese and enjoyed the views from my 20-something floor hotel room at the Renaissance. That whole day I never noticed Mt. Rainier, it must have been hazy, or maybe the thunderstorms over the mountains clouded the view. The next day I got to meet up with a great friend from Boulder who recently started a post-doc at the University of Washington and just had a little baby! I got to experience the Seattle bus system, which, downtown is underground!!! How smart! We had breakfast at an adorable little shack on the river called Agua Verde. So good! <br />
<br />
Then I made my way to the dock via taxi where a giant cruise ship, the Jewel of the Seas, was waiting for me. Their computer system broke down, but after an hour or so of standing with two heavy bottles of wine in my backpack, and a few students texting to see where I was at, I finally got on the ship. I eventually started running into students and we passed the word around that we'd meet for dinner before our first class meeting. Ashara and I toured the boat and she explained cruising to me since I was a novice. A bunch of us found ourselves outside on the heli pad as we left the port of Seattle until the wind became too much for us dress-wearers to withstand. We were all super excited for our trip!<br />
<br />
As we sat down to dinner, all 14 of us, the ship began to really feel like it was swaying. It was an odd feeling and we all tried to eat lightly, although I do remember still eating at least two desserts. There were lots of gluten free options, something I'm not used to. When we made it to our first meeting, it was in the back of the ship and we got some great views of the mountains, and my third dessert, some ice cream. We also started to feel a little ill. There were these pool tables that would stay level as the boat moved, which was pretty weird. Luckily we were prepared with patches, dramamine, and ginger chews. I'm a big fan of the patch, but it makes my mouth really dry, which is super annoying. <br />
<br />
Saturday was a travel day, a gloomy one, but the only gloomy weather we really had the whole trip, so that's okay. We met for class in the morning, grabbed some lunch, then went to a lecture on glaciers. My students and I all agreed that any one of us could have given a more interesting talk and the idea of doing just that on cruise ships in the future seemed like an interesting occupation. I think we lounged around at the pool before dinner, which was formal. If my memory serves me right we got to sing some Karaoke and take note of some hidden talents, then we ended up at the dance club. I think we were all so bored just waiting to get to Alaska that we took drastic measures. I'm sure they can all agree that clubbing with their professor was probably not on their wish list, but I'm glad they let me enjoy their company. Some of us have storm chased together, some have been my supplemental instructor, and others I had just met. It was a great way to break any lingering ice. (Pun intended.) <br />
<br />
<b>Juneau, Alaska</b><br />
Sunday we arrived in Juneau around noon. We had an excursion planned called <a href="http://www.stepintoalaska.com/excursions/alaskas-whales-glaciers-rainforest-trails">Whales, Glaciers, and Rainforest Trails</a>. We met up with our guide, Skip, who bussed us to a harbor where we waited for his boat to pick us up. While there we found a bunch of eagles. Eagles are old news to me, they are pretty common in northern Wisconsin where I vacation, and apparently even more common in Alaska, but it's hard not to enjoy them. <br />

<br />
We got on the boat and got our little safety talk while Skip taught us about the whales we were going to see: the humpback whale. This whalewatching was just so amazing. Right away we found a whale and eventually we had a mom, baby, and a sea lion all playing together. It was so neat. The thing is, the scenery was just amazing. Even without the whales, this place on the water was just beautiful. Snowcapped mountains everywhere, the sun was out, the water a beautiful color, eagles around. It was amazing, I couldn't seem to get over how perfect it was! <br />

The Edx MOOC Denial101x Making Sense of Climate Science Denial was a huge success. We have a 69 page document with student praise and lists of what they learned. We have videos from students all over the world talking about how it made a difference in their lives, here's a compilation of some favorites:<br />

<br />
It really makes me feel like all of the hard work was worth it! I spent most weekends this semester working on this course. Plus, I made a lot of new friends that I hope to continue to work with in the future. Thanks to John Cook for inviting me to participate! <br />
<br />
<b><u>The videos and the course live on for all to use!</u></b><br />
Luckily, it wasn't just a one-time event. <span style="color: red;"><b>We have the course sitting in self-paced mode so anyone can drop in and check it out</b><span style="font-size: large;">:</span></span> <a href="https://www.edx.org/course/making-sense-climate-science-denial-uqx-denial101x-0">https://www.edx.org/course/making-sense-climate-science-denial-uqx-denial101x-0</a> (It goes live July 1.) It's still free, you still only need an email address to participate. You also still don't have to worry about your grades because it's a MOOC. There's really nothing to lose! <br />
<br />
Here's where you come in. <b><span style="color: red;">One of our team goals is to make sure that these videos live on</span> </b>and are tweeted, posted on Facebook, and shared any time these myths pop up in main stream media. Imagine a comments section that's out of control somewhere. All you have to do is drop the proper video and your point is made! Imagine every time Donald Trump tweets about it being cold outside so global warming doesn't exist, if his followers would just reply by dropping the video or even just the infographic that proves him wrong. Frankly, I feel like I explain the same climate myths over and over and over again and I look forward to video-dropping knowledge to save myself some time (and sanity). <br />
<br />
This means that the skeptical science team is working to embed these videos into the <a href="http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php">existing myth debunking system on their website.</a> We're working on other easy ways to make sure teachers can find our videos and use them in class. Luckily, <b><span style="color: red;">all of our videos are freely available on YouTube.</span></b><br />
<br />
Here's a playlist of the videos I made (hey, it's my blog, I get to self-promote!): Heat Waves, Wavy Jet Stream, Sea Level Rise, Extreme Weather, Weather vs Climate models, Water Vapor Amplifies Warming, and IPCC Underestimates.<br />

I've had several people ask me if I get paid to do this MOOC. Absolutely not! I am a professor and that is my only source of income. As a professor I'm required to teach 12 credits a semester, do department, school, university, and community service, develop professionally, and publish peer reviewed literature. This MOOC falls under community service. In other words, I worked on the MOOC mainly on my weekends. So why do I do it? I teach a maximum of 120 students a semester and this was an opportunity to reach more people. The reason I've been trying so hard to advertise the course is because we put so much work into it, we'd love to see it reach as many people as possible! Science literacy is a passion of mine and I'd do anything to live in a world where decisions are made based on critical thinking and evidence. <br />

If you are a MSU Denver student, a weather hobbyist, or a student somewhere else, these courses are for you! (I have found these courses transfer easily and we're happy to provide any paperwork you need to do so.)<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Summer:</span></b></u><br />
1. I'm teaching <b>MTR 1600 Global Climate Change </b>online this summer. This fulfills the Natural and Physical Science requirement AND the Global Diversity requirement. The course covers the science, impacts, and solutions of global warming. I teach the course through a series of online videos. Basically you'd sit down and watch a YouTube playlist that alternates between my lectures (with slides) and awesome videos made by NASA, NOAA, and other sources with spectacular graphics. Then you'd do a bit of reading and go take a weekly quiz. I also have a series of short, prescribed writing assignments that get you exploring the effects of global warming on other countries. This has and always will be my favorite course to teach. <br />

<br />
2. Professors Ng and Wagner are teaching <b>MTR 1400 Weather and Climate</b> online this summer. This course fulfills the Natural and Physical Science requirement and is also the first course Meteorology majors and minors take. This course covers everything from tornadoes to frontal systems to hurricanes. <br />
<br />
3. Professor Wagner is offering <b>MTR 2020, the 1-credit lab </b>that majors and minors and ENV majors should take along with or after MTR 1400. This is our first time offering the course during the summer, but we are doing it because it is a prereq for Synoptic Meteorology which is only offered in the fall and is a sort of gateway to the meteorology major and minor.<br />
<br />
4. Professors Ng and Landolt are offering their <b>Weather Analysis and Observation</b> course, which is a Maymester course that involves traveling the Great Plains in search of severe weather, then taking measurements and learning how to forecast. I joined them <a href="http://drkeah.blogspot.com/2014/05/storm-chasing-class-week-1.html">last year for a week</a> and it was epic! This class has a few prerequisites for obvious safety reasons, but if you have a basic meteorology background and are interested in joining, it can't hurt to ask! sng1@msudenver.edu is Dr. Ng's contact info.<br />

<br />
5. I'm taking a group of students on an <b>Alaskan Glacier cruise</b> for Maymester. Unfortunately this class is already full, but stay tuned for future trips. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Fall:</b></u></span><br />
6. This fall Professor Landolt and I are offering <b>MTR 1300 Colorado Weather Extremes </b>for the first time! This course fulfills the Natural and Physical Science requirement, but is not meant for majors or minors, just weather enthusiasts! Here's our description:<br />

experiences one of the most extreme varieties of weather conditions and
residents know that weather can change on a dime with rapid temperature and
precipitation-type swings in a matter of minutes. This course will use
Colorado weather extremes such as mountain blizzards, upslope snow events,
chinook wind storms, flash floods, wildfire weather conditions, the persistent
brown cloud, super cells, lightning, tornadoes, gustnadoes, and landspouts, to
explain the physical science and meteorology of the atmosphere. Students
will learn the science behind how these weather extremes develop, understand
the uncertainties involved in forecasting them, and be exposed to a variety of
historic extreme weather events in Colorado.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

7. This fall Dr. Wagner is offering <b>Air Pollution</b> again. This has always been a hit and an oh-so-relevant topic for us Front Rangers. <br />
<br />
8. In Sociology they are offering <b>SOC 3770 Society and the Environment</b>, which will focus on living in the anthropocene. This class sounds fascinating, maybe I will drop in! <br />
<br />
We'll be offering our usual fall line-up as well, but keep in mind Thermo won't be offered until next spring. Physical and Thermo alternate springs now. <br />
<br />
The summer offerings are out now and the fall schedule will be released March 16th and registration for fall begins March 30th. Summer registration begins March 2.

Let's just say reading off of a teleprompter is not my favorite pastime. Thanks to Scott for his patience with my multiple takes!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the data finally came out on 2014, and it turns out it was the warmest year on record globally. Warming continues. This news made the "above the fold" of the NY Times, although not the first time global warming has been front page news this year.<br />

One morning during the Front Range's mixed-precipitation and fog event, I noticed some special frost on the trees. It was hoar frost! (Or they were rime formations, the jury is still out on that one.) This rare event <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/01/13/prickly-hoar-frost-needles-blanket-boulder-colo-photos/">made national news</a>, which was pretty exciting. <br />

I had five meteorology students and three other meteorology faculty from our program join me in Phoenix. Thanks to MSU Denver student travel for making it possible for the students to be exposed to such awesome science! It was so much fun and I couldn't be prouder of my students! They presented their research, attended talks, and most importantly, when given a spare key to my hotel room so they could store their luggage on the last day, didn't short-sheet me! <br />

</tbody></table>
We held a MSU Denver Alumni happy hour and got to meet up with some successful graduates of our program. I also got to attend the alumni gathering of my own alma mater, the University of Wisconsin. I met up with my old mesoscale meteorology professor who took a group of us seniors to the meteorology lab at the top of Storm Peak at Steamboat Springs for a week back in 2004. It was my first time in Colorado and he attempted to teach me how to ski. That trip was the reason I ended up in Colorado for graduate school. I saw some other good friends. It's funny how many of us meteorologists have Wisconsin connections. <br />
<br />
One night the Science Center was rented out for our organization and the students and I went and enjoyed all of the exhibits. <br />

I can't believe I hadn't ever been to a graduation before, but let me tell you, this was the way to do it! It was so rewarding to see three of our meteorology majors, a bunch of other EAS students I have had in classes, and one of my minors from the aviation department graduate. Some of these students have become great friends over the years. They are usually the hard-working ones that are in the lab at all hours of the day, the ones who I can go to to get opinions on something I want to try, the ones who make me proud. I hate seeing them go, but have to remember they deserve to move on to bigger things!<br />

These days you can learn so many things online, for free! This isn't meant so much as a substitute for college, but a supplement for people of any age who are just looking to learn more about a topic. For example, I took differential equations 12 years ago, but I could brush up on my skills using a MOOC. I could also learn how to program, how to be a better teacher, how to solve the climate crisis using engineering, etc. <br />
<br />
Well, my new friend John Cook of <a href="http://www.skepticalscience.com/">www.skepticalscience.com</a> has invited me to participate in his MOOC, "Making Sense of Climate Science Denial" or Denial 101. I'll be creating a few lectures to contribute to the awesome program he has in store for students of the course. It will be coming out this coming March. <br />
