[Yuhan Douglas Rao]

Dear all,

You are invited to the next CISESS Science Webinar on *June 15 (Wednesday)
at 11 am*. Please register in advance for this meeting:

about joining the meeting.

*Title*: Creating readily-consumable information products to communicate
climate risks

*Abstract*: The nonprofit First Street Foundation has created
publicly-accessible information products for the U.S. to quantify and
communicate climate risk, built upon open government data from NOAA, USGS,
USACE, FEMA, USFS, and other government agencies. The methodology behind
the creation of flood and wildfire risk products will be described, as well
as the strategies for the communication and use of those information
products. Challenges in the creation and application of these information
products to address climate risk across the US will also be discussed.

*Speaker*: Dr. Ed Kearns, Chief Data Officer, First Street Foundation. Dr.
Kearns provides leadership for the First Street Foundation’s science and
data activities. He previously served as Chief Data Officer for the U.S.
Department of Commerce, overseeing the governance and management of data
assets from its 12 bureaus. Appointed as NOAA’s first Chief Data Officer in
2017, he led the development of strategies and practices for managing
NOAA’s data as a national asset. He promoted new uses and wider
understanding of federal data through new public-private partnerships and
technologies, such as the NOAA Big Data Project, and he helped develop the
first Federal Data Strategy for the White House’s Leveraging Data as a
Strategic Asset initiative. He currently also serves as a member of the
Applied Sciences Advisory Committee within NASA’s Science Mission
Directorate. Dr. Kearns holds a B.S. in Physics and Marine Science from the
University of Miami, and he holds a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from the
University of Rhode Island.
