Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
On September 28, 2023, Mark Shafer, Deputy Director for the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP) and Associate Professor in Geography & Environmental Sustainability at the University of Oklahoma, participated in the White House Summit on Building Climate Resilient Communities. The Summit, which was announced by President Biden earlier this summer, brought together local, state, […]
It is well known that within the Maritime Continent, a meteorological term for the region between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, enhanced water mixing processes from tides cause colder sea surface temperatures. An important question is exactly how much this process contributes to broader ocean and climate conditions. A new study, supported by the Climate
Apart from wildfires, air quality and health challenges are also created by planned burns in grasslands, shrublands, and farmland. Few studies have investigated how different crops or plant types may contribute to air pollution when burned. The Climate Program Office’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) Program supported a new study that looks into emissions of
