Is Man-Made Climate Change to Blame For Record-Breaking Forest Fires in California?

With 10 of the largest California wildfires occurring in the last 20 years—five of which occurred in 2020 alone—scientists are asking if man-made climate change is to blame.

NOAA IRAP and NSF-funded research provides recommendations on tailored and audience-specific risk and crisis communications in the Interior Alaska wildfire infosphere

This research was supported by NOAA’s International Research and Applications Project (IRAP), in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF), through the Belmont Forum’s Collaborative Research Action on Climate, Environment and Health (BF/CRA/CEH). Overall, the funding competition provided over $13M to climate and health research via collaboration among 13 funding agencies from 10 countries.

Detecting Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Salt Lake City During the COVID-19 Lockdown

Using the “natural experiment” created by the significant reduction in emissions during mandated COVID-19 lockdown measures, researchers funded by AC4 and COM, two programs at the NOAA Climate Program Office, quantified human impacts on the urban atmosphere in Salt Lake City and evaluated the stationary and mobile monitoring systems in place.
