Sobel on Weather, Risk, and Resilience

Jun 12 2026

Adam Sobel, Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics and of Earth and Environmental Sciences, delivered talks at the SIFMA ILS Conference, the University of Miami (recording available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I79Y_wDkSPQ), and a Cornell University summit focused on data science, climate risk, and humanitarian resilience. His work explores the intersection of extreme weather, climate science, and society.

In addition to his podcast, Deep Convection, Sobel recently started Substack (https://deepconvection.substack.com) where he writes about science, politics, weather, and culture, including a recent series on his uncle, experimental artist Sumner Crane.
