A team of researchers supported by CPO’s International Research and Applications Project (IRAP) will convene the one-day workshop in Puerto Rico in February 2020.
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.

Using historical data from tide gauges that line U.S. coasts, researchers funded by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program created an extreme sea level indicator that identifies how much of a role different major weather and ocean forces have played in affecting extreme sea levels in coastal areas around the country.
Researchers have for years been working to tackle the subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction problem to improve forecasts. The Subseasonal Experiment, SubX, is an interagency research-to-operations project designed to help tackle this problem. The results of the project were recently published in BAMS.

The SPT is a compilation of relatively easy-to-use online interactive tools, maps, and graphs that helps cut through the internet clutter and points to relatively simple data tools. SCIPP also recently received an award from the American Planning Association Oklahoma Chapter for this tool.
A research team funded in part by CPO’s MAPP and CVP Programs investigate the effect of global warming on the MJO.
