The Puerto Rican landscape is ever-changing. Weather plays the biggest role. These changes make people adapt regardless of their ability or desire to do so. @weatherchannel & @conexiontiempo went to Carolina, PR after #Fiona to see what people are being dealt by Mother Nature.

Have there been ways for which people can prepare for these rapid weather changes?

Bangladesh faces dire consequences of rapid climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and unpredictable water patterns jeopardizing millions of lives. 44 Community #UNVolunteers including women from ethnic minorities are at the forefront, implementing adaptive measures to foster climate-resilient and self-reliant households. Thanks to the partnership with @UNDP_BD and @UNVolunteers which is giving opportunities to professionals from marginalized communities through UNV's Special Voluntary Fund.

A recent video from Lake Michigan shows the beach completely submerged by a meteotsunami in under a minute. This rare event, caused by rapid changes in air pressure, can create large, dangerous waves. @RachelSchoutsen provides an in-depth explanation.

As caused by climate change, 2023 was the highest on record for Canada by a wide margin for total wildfire emissions. This led to some locations in the Northeast recording their worst air quality in decades, and the wildfire smoke extended as far down as the Southeast U.S.

We can see how climate change worsens extreme weathers like monsoon season in South Korea, causing many disasters. Much prepation from visitors and citizens alike need to be made as well. expatkidskorea.com/article/the-co… koreapro.org/2024/06/as-sum….

@EM203crabideau Hey Cole! Great thoughts, I'm also quite excited to learn even more on how I can best learn in this digital age :)

Having wrapped up the initial three weeks of EM203, I've already gained a deep understanding of digital education and various theories like connectivism. I'm eager to dive deeper and put these new insights into practice! #EM203Robin

@EM203urasool I completely agree! The use of social media combined with typical class content is a very interesting and fresh way to learn.

I enjoyed the first three weeks of #EM203Robin, especially learning of the various uses of technology, and the importance of media literacy. I'm looking forward to learning more about how social media is used to spread and consume news as the semester progresses. #Digitalskills

@EM203AdriennaB I always think this saying I've heard "your 5 closest friends represent who you are". Who you surround yourself with determines the person you end up to be, whether that be subconciously or not.

This quote is inspiring and great advice. Be wise of the people you let into your life as some might be there for the wrong reasons. #EM203Research #EM203Robin

@em203cdsouza87 Love this quote!! I believe that the power of your mind can help you accomplosh anything you desire <3

@gran7590 Hi Joseph! I agree, I think this class has been one of the more interesting classes I've taken. I really love how what we learn can actually be applied in real life as well.

Hi everyone, I joined this class late (just last week). The content is very interesting, and I'm learning a lot about the digital age. #EM203Robin

In my first few lessons of EM203, I've learnt a lot on how digital learning has both it's benefits and disadvantages! By best leveraging modern options for learning and matching it to my learning style, it can do wonders for learning various class materials. #EM203Robin

After seeing so many video clips of the debate on TikTok, I don't even have to watch the full thing to know that it was a disaster 😃

#EM203Research weather.gov/bis/sudden_str… Stratospheric warming is a disruption of the stratospheric polar vortex that begins with Rossby waves getting pushed higher into the atmosphere. Strong waves reverses from being westerly to easterly, causing sudden jumps in temperature.

#EM203problems @EM203BHo_ Hi Brian! A problem you can further explore is the link between climate change and housing prices. Specifically, due to the the worsening climate, how has this caused people to move to certain locations increasing price? Hope this helps!

#EM203problems @em203wasif Hi Waleed! About mental health awarness and environemental factors, you can also explore whether individuals' environments enable them to adequately take care of their mental health. Specifically if they have the resources to do so (time, money, etc.)

A significant problem associated with sudden weather jumps, or rapid changes in weather, is the increased risk to human health and safety. These abrupt changes can lead to infrastructure damage. @EM203Sheffield #EM203problems

Hi Ryan! From your concept map, I believe that expensive housing market can widen the gap between different socio-economic groups as well, limiting access to quality housing for lower-income individuals. @EM203rcampbell #EM203problems
