Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The provision and use of weather, water, ice and climate information plays a key role in ensuring that polar activities are conducted as safely as possible and can contribute to a reduction of the environmental footprint of human activities.
Improving situational awareness and crisis response are key priorities in reducing potential risks associated with sea ice and environmental-related hazards in the Arctic.
The webinar will highlight an ongoing International Research and Applications Project-funded project to explore trends in historical heat extremes and heat-related mortality and morbidity in the border cities of San Diego-Tijuana and Calexico-Mexicali, as well as the reach and effectiveness of heat-health messaging by area National Weather Service Offices and public health agencies.

Accessible via the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center, the database provides the most detailed estimates available of where CO₂ is emitted from within the transportation sector and will help scientists and decision makers track how CO₂ emissions are changing over time and across U.S. cities.
The new report includes strategies, methods, and case studies of cities that have used economic data and methods to advance climate adaptation programs.
The Macelwane Medal is awarded annually to three to five early career scientists in recognition of their significant contributions to Earth and space science. Meet this year’s winner: Emily Fischer, Associate Professor at Colorado State University.
