Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The study demonstrates the value of fostering scientist-stakeholder relationships in catalyzing collaborative public health efforts.
The partnership kicked off this week with the onboarding of a Office of National Marine Sanctuaries-CPO shared position: Climate Coordinator/Visiting Scientist, Dr. Zac Cannizzo.
The findings have important implications for assumptions about what might drive organizational learning and change among water managers for climate adaptation in the future.
The series will explore science and research topics relevant to the “Managing Water Resources Along the Coast” community of practice.

Many locations, both urban and rural, in the region experience frequent flood events and the results from these studies confirm that precipitation is changing and offer possible explanations/attribution for the observed changes.
Since 1990, the eleven CPO RISA teams have worked with governments, resource managers, tribes, and businesses to serve more than 400 communities, inform hundreds of local plans and policies, generate new research, and coordinate partnerships that promote social resilience.

The study found that an initial estimate of diversions based on climate variables and land-use can be generated, and therefore could be used to drive Central Valley groundwater models to estimate pumping.
The authors found that an otherwise moderate drought in the western United States was made into the most severe drought of the last 500 years and that our warming climate is playing a key role.

Water reserved in mountain snowpack plays a major role in seasonal water cycles and currently supplies water to an estimated two billion people.

The seminar, “Wastewater Treatment Along North Carolina’s Changing Coastlines,” will focus on the impacts of coastal hazards (e.g. extreme precipitation, high-tide flooding) and sea level rise on wastewater treatment infrastructure along the coast.
