An eye opening @usgs_climate atmospheric river study once again shows the vital importance of paleoclimatology in clarifying when to use the word *unprecedented* when describing today’s or projected extreme weather events. Answer? Almost never. See my earlier posts below for other examples. #hugapaleoclimatologist (hat tip @thirstygecko) 1/

Fab new science. I'm a huge fan of paleotempestology (yes, it's a subcomponent of paleoclimatology) - from Jamaica Bay nytimes.com/2001/07/24/sci… to the Northeast's past stormy times nytimes.com/2002/10/25/us/… to Puerto Rico's cooler-climate hurricane blitzes: nytimes.com/2007/05/24/sci…
