Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP)

The new web portal provides data on a number of indicators that track the status and trends of seven major marine ecosystems across the United States as well as a national synthesis.

This new research investment will examine why some of the latest models seem to be more sensitive to greenhouse gas forcing.

CPO's Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program has organized a new Marine Ecosystem Task Force (METF) in coordination with the NMFS Office of Science and Technology. The first meeting of the METF took place on October 7th and is led by OAR, NMFS, and university scientists.

The fourth Drought Task Force (DTF4), a coordinated effort between NIDIS and MAPP, launched on October 9th.

The impacts of single droughts on forests have been widely studied, but understanding whether forests acclimate to or become more vulnerable to repeated drought events remains largely unknown.
