Though Tallahassee was merely grazed, the increasing force of storms like Idalia, together with worldwide incidents of record flooding?including Greece, Libya, China, Brazil, Myanmar, and major metropolitan centers throughout the United States?speaks to the important roles we are training students to play in working to mitigate natural disasters through wise energy and environmental policy, and to redesign communities for greater resilience and adaptation. On this latter point, we are proud to celebrate the new $1 million grant that the CDC awarded to an FSU team including our own Professor Tisha Holmes to help communities build resilience to health threats emerging as a result of climate change. I am also thrilled to welcome the newest member of our faculty team, Brian Slocum, who joined FSU as the Stearns Weaver Miller Professor this fall after a distinguished early career at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. Professor Slocum joins our slate of administrative law scholars, with a specialization in legal interpretation. He is the author of ?Ordinary Meaning: A Theory of the Most Fundamental Principle of Legal Interpretation" (University of Chicago Press, 2015) and many other works exploring the linguistics and philosophy of legal meaning, a subject of increasing importance to environmental law. Professor Slocum will share his expertise with our students in teaching Administrative Law, one of the core courses of the FSU Environmental Certificate Program. Finally, don?t miss our excellent line up of upcoming scholarly events this academic year.

In August, Professor Matthews participated in a speaker?s panel in this year on ?Non-Human Laws: Animal Rights and Animal Welfare ? What is the Difference Between the Two Again?? This event was part of Tallahassee Women Lawyers (TWL) CLE Events. Additionally, as discussed below, two of Professor Matthews recent students won hororable mention in the Eleventh Annual Animal Law Writing Competition for papers written in Professor Matthews upper level writing class, Animal Law. Upcoming Events: Fall 2023 Distinguished Lecture [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20231016/39/bf/00/45/5cd567a2018d82a34ef9be9f_520x624.jpg] On November 9, the Center proudly welcomes our Fall 2023 Distinguished Lecturer, Michael Gerrard. Professor Gerrard is the Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Pratice at Columbia University, and the faculty director of the groundbreaking Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. A widely respected expert on climate law and policy, Professor Gerrard's lecture will focus on his upcoming article, Urban Flooding: Legal Tools to Address a Growing Crisis, which will be featured in FSU Law's Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law. As Professor Gerrard will discuss, climate change is making extreme precipitation events more intense and frequent in many parts of the world. This has led to damaging and often life-threatening flooding in many cities. Urban drainage systems were designed to accommodate rainfall patterns that no longer exist. A host of actions are required to help cities cope with the flooding that is now happening and that will become more severe in the decades to come: improved drainage systems; more "green infrastructure" to allow stormwater to infiltrate the soil; systems to store water temporarily; barriers to hold back water; elevating and otherwise redesigning buildings so that critical elements are above flood levels; and relocation of some uses away from vulnerable areas. His lecture will explore the legal issues that arise with each of these types of actions, discuss how they can be financed, and make recommendations for legal reforms. It also will consider the difficult task of setting priorities and making tradeoffs among potential actions. Professor Gerrard's lecture will be held November 9 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the FSU Law Rotunda, with a reception to follow. For those who cannot attend in person, it will be livestreamed here.

Baum Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean, & Atmospheric Science at Florida State University, for a guest lecture on what we know (and what we don?t know) about the influence of climate warming on hurricanes. Her talk, attended by a live and online audience, covered what changes to hurricanes have already occurred as a result of climate change, what can we expect in the future.
