SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:This webinar focuses on preliminary findings from the Climate Risk Perceptions survey that was carried out in Chitwan in Spring 2022. In this study\, we measured Chitwan farmers’ exposure to various climate-linked hazards (including droughts\, floods\, and pests)\, their perceptions of climate risk\, and their livelihood choices and income from 2015-2021. We find that climate risks are among the most salient types of risks considered by farmers\, and that these affect perceptions not just of farming\, but also of other livelihoods e.g. migration and wage labor. We also find that households tend to rely even more on farming activities for income in years in which they experience a drought or flood. We will discuss implications of these findings for theory on livelihood diversification\, and also overview additional data from this survey that may be of interest to CVFS users. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation.\n\nThe webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is required to attend the webinar.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Simulation-based modeling of cluster weak lensing
DESCRIPTION:Galaxy clusters are embedded in the most massive bound structures in the Universe. These structures formed from gravitationally amplified peaks in the primordial matter distribution making their properties sensitive to cosmology. In the standard approach the abundances of clusters as a function of their mass are used to constrain cosmology. Because cluster masses cannot be measured directly this approach relies on observable proxies of cluster mass that are calibrated using weak gravitational lensing. Robustly marginalizing over these mass-observable relations is therefore critical to accurately measuring cosmology with clusters. Recently\, data from clusters identified in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) were found to be in significant tension with a variety of other probes\, including a 5.6-sigma tension with cosmic microwave background data. This tension was likely caused by incomplete modeling of the impact of cluster selection. We have developed a novel framework to forward model cluster selection in cosmological simulations to address this discrepancy. When applied to the same DES cluster data we have found that this framework can consistently describe the DES cluster data assuming a Planck cosmology\, thereby resolving the tension observed in earlier analyses of the DES cluster data.
