Lake Forest Park Climate Conversations: Panel Discussion on LFP's new Climate Action Plan
The LFP Climate Hub is launching LFP Climate Conversations, a quarterly discussion series with speakers, moderated by Dr. Taryn Black, Climate Scientist and Shoreline resident. This LFP Climate Conversation will focus on four key climate threats that face Lake Forest Park and top of the lake communities, LFP’s new Climate Action Plan, and what you can do to help build a resilient community.
Join us for coffee, goodies, hands-on action, and community. Let’s learn together how to make a difference in the climate arena.
Speakers will be Sarah Phillips, Lead for the LFP Climate Action Plan Team; Nina Rasmussen, Climate Action Plan Program Manager for the City of Kenmore; and Jacob Genuise, Engagement Climatologist at the Washington State Climate Office.

Extreme Heat in the Pacific Northwest: Strategies for Next Summer and Beyond
Extreme heat disasters are becoming increasingly common. What are the strategies for long-term risk-reduction and extreme heat preparedness? This discussion will expand on an article co-written by our featured speakers, which was recently featured by The Conversation in a new collection of essays on how extreme weather events will impact the environment- and our lives.
Featured Speakers:
- Jason Vogel, Deputy Director, UW Climate Impacts Group
- Brian Henning, Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies, Gonzaga University
This webinar is part of the Climate Impacts Group "Our Climate Future" webinar series.
Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: cig@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars.
Thursday, January 15, 2026, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

You’re invited to the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s (NW CASC) in-person showcase at the University of Washington on Thursday, January 22, 2026. Join us to learn about our center and fellowship programs, which provide research funding & training in actionable climate adaptation science!
Who: All are welcome, though this event is geared towards UW graduate students, postdocs, and faculty interested in or already working on climate impacts and/or adaptation research for Northwest species and ecosystems. Undergrads may also be interested in joining to learn about our summer internship opportunities.
What: The showcase will kick off with an overview of the NW CASC, lightning talks and a career panel with NW CASC Research Fellow alumni, followed by a networking reception with refreshments.

NW RISCC will host a 1-hour multi-speaker webinar on the impacts of different climate variables on weed biocontrol agents and their success in the Northwest.
We will begin with a brief overview of weed biocontrol, and then discuss how climate change may impact biocontrol systems at different stages of planning and implementation. Our speakers will highlight as examples the control agents and their host dynamics for St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and knotweed (Reynoutria spp.).
This event will also serve as the launching point for a working group to address knowledge gaps around Northwest biocontrol in a changing climate, including modeling population dynamics and geographic distributions of agents under different climate scenarios and developing a framework for collecting data to disentangle climate impacts from other drivers of population dynamics.
