Warming river water temperature is helping the invasive northern pike wreak havoc on iconic Alaskan salmon and trout. Furthermore, the freshwater invasive species is now navigating saltwater. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/08072026/climate-change-helping-invasive-predator-alaskan-fish/ via Paula Dobbyn, Inside Climate News

How can hydrologists & fish technicians team up to detect -- and control -- the presence of sharp-tooth predator? One step is to integrate datasets of continuous monitoring of (air &) water temperature as well as non-continuous fish counts -- in freshwater & saltwater bodies. https://kisters.net/kieco/

The U.S. has a billion-dollar blind spot: . Scientists have never quite understood it. Meteorologist Judson Jones introduces scientists like NOAA's Dr. Sean Waugh who are chasing hailstorms across Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to reveal more insights.

“Hail is a growing driver of losses,” said Adam Smith who ran NOAA's U.S. Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters program for 15 years until it was dismantled last year. Insurers now flag hail, not tornadoes, as the primary catalyst for the rising cost of living in the American heartland.

“From a loss perspective, we are on a pace where losses from severe storms double each decade,” said Dr. Ian Giammanco, PhD, a research scientist at the Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) who participated in the In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail In the Plains (ICECHIP), a field data collection project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
