The research shows that eliminating anthropogenic emissions from the City of Boston could also decrease public health mortalities by 288 deaths per year, saving the city $2.4 billion annually.
Using climate projections to assess climate change risks remains challenging, in part due to the large associated uncertainties, such as those for extreme events.

The partnership has resulted in a number of high quality paleo datasets, without which significant advancements over the last 5 years in understanding societally-relevant risks such as drought and temperature changes in a long-term context would not have been possible.
Eight new postdoctoral fellows are commencing cutting-edge research projects that will contribute innovative climate science to the research community as well as NOAA’s mission. These fellows are the new 2020-2022 class of NOAA Climate and Global Change (C&GC) Postdoctoral Fellows, selected by NOAA’s Climate Program Office (CPO) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
The webinar will provide an overview of the current conditions leading up to April 1, a critical date in the local water year, and the outlook beyond.
