An overview of the Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) field experiment, supported by AC4, provides the first large-scale assessment of winter air quality issues in Arctic urban areas, detailing unique indoor and outdoor pollution issues.
The Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, is co-organizing an in-person 3-day event focused on fostering meaningful dialogue and action on equitable climate resilience and adaptation across the region.
A newly funded MAPP project will focus on the impact of extreme snow loads on building design amid climate change, aligning with NOAA’s partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to prepare the nation for the impacts of a changing environment with climate-ready infrastructure.
