The Simple Planning Tool for Texas Climate Hazards, previously available in Oklahoma and Arkansas, assists planners, emergency managers, and decision makers in Texas who are assessing their long-term climate risks, both historically and in the future.
The study reveals that weather patterns are changing in a way that enhances wildfire hazard in California, while the frequency of weather patterns linked to historical floods is not diminishing. These changes exhibit the rising hazards of weather extremes in California’s present and future.
The NOAA Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program held a successful 2022 Summer Institute, fostering collaboration and idea sharing to improve research and actionable science.
Beginning on August 24th, this webinar series aims to increase awareness of at-risk populations that are typically overlooked and overburdened by extreme heat, create a space for discussions about vulnerability in a judgment free environment, and collect and share resources and ideas for addressing heat risk.
On July 26th, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) launched a new portal, Heat.gov, to provide the public and community decision makers with clear, timely, and science-based information to understand and reduce the health risks of extreme heat.
A new CVP-supported study uses a Weather Research and Forecasting model of Super Typhoon Yutu to improve the understanding of the process of rapid intensification within tropical cyclones.
This virtual webinar, titled Climate and Infrastructure Funding: A Conversation on Justice Opportunities and Challenges, will bring individuals together from different sectors to identify environmental justice funding and capacity-building resources for disaster resilience when implementing community-led projects.
CHEESEHEAD19 Field Campaign produces useful criteria for using a variety of ground-based remote sensing instruments used to measure planetary boundary layer height.
Expanded record of air-sea CO2 fluxes created using machine learning techniques improves our ability to model annual changes in the ocean carbon sink.
