CPO supports and is featured at Climate Predictions and Applications Science Workshop

img-CPASWheader1

The National Weather Service Climate Services Division, in partnership with Georgia Sea Grant, held the 17th Annual Climate Predictions and Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) in Charleston, South Carolina from June 11 to 13, 2019. The goal of the annual meeting  is to better connect experts in the weather and climate science fields with stakeholders and decision makers at the federal, state, and local level on research, tools, and applications. This year’s workshop theme focused on climate information for coastal risk reduction. Heavy rains occurred during the workshop, emphasizing the importance of flooding as a major topic of conversation.

The Climate Program Office (CPO) supported the development of this workshop in several ways. As it has for many years, the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) program provided funding support for the workshop, in addition to funding and organizational support from the Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments RISA team. Adrienne Antoine, Program Manager for Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) Program and Hunter Jones, Climate and Health Project Manager, participated on the steering committee to identify session topics, review abstracts, develop the agenda, and moderate sessions. Principal Investigators from the RISA program also participated on the steering committee and were instrumental in developing a panel session focused on engaging decision makers in design and evaluation.

The list below documents sessions, presentations, and posters that highlighted research funded by the CPO Climate and Societal Interactions Division’s programs or supported by CPO staff.
