New research by Daria Nikitina et al. and supported by CPO’s CVP program was published in the journal Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. The research examined relative sea level (RSL) rise in the Delaware Bay in a reconstruction spanning 200 BCE to 1800 CE.

A new study published in Nature Climate Change on Sept. 21, 2015, and supported by NOAA’s Climate Program Office employs a unique approach to assess flood risk by combining consideration of oceanographic sea level rise (SLR) and tropical cyclone intensity, frequency and duration into a flood index.
Greg Carbone, a RISA PI, is co-author on a paper published in the Journal of Climatology. The paper–“Assessment of NARCCAP model in simulating rainfall extremes using a spatially constrained regionalization method”–appeared online on Sept. 14.
Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments (CISA), the RISA team in the Carolinas region, has launched a new website and logo.

Understanding the Madden-Julian Oscillation, the dominant element influencing intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere, is crucial to improving predictions on timescales of weeks to months. Yet, exactly how this phenomenon is initiated is an active area of scientific inquiry.A recently accepted paper in the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems by Maloney and Wolding

Work supported by CPO’s AC4 program found that the effects of melting permafrost in the Arctic could cost $43 trillion in extra economic damage by the end of the next century, on top of the more than the $300 trillion economic damage already predicted.
Emissions from thawing permafrost add trillions in economic impacts Read More »
