This protype milestone is an important step toward increasing the use and accessibility of NOAA’s ocean data collected at the Pacific Marine Environmental Lab and other U.S. institutions.

The chapter walks readers through an overview of amplified warming in the Arctic, discussing a variety of processes in the climate system contributing to the warming.

Funded in part by CPO’s Communication, Education, and Engagement (CEE) Division, the free, interactive data tool provides neighborhood (census tract) level information for every community and county in the United States about potentially vulnerable people and property due to climate change.

NOAA's Climate Program Office, Climate Generation, and The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program look back on the success of the Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education—a three-day virtual conference that brought together more than 300 educators from across the country, along with Canada and Costa Rica, to create a community and gain the confidence, tools, and resources to teach climate change in all subject areas. 

Arctic change is generally discussed with average changes, but extreme events and changes to extremes are felt the most by humans and ecosystems.
