Heads of State and government leaders from Micronesia acknowledged the value of the CPO Pacific RISA’s work and the way it is uniquely positioned in the Pacific to provide research and partnership that directly supports their high-level decisions in adapting to climate change and variability.
The project will help cities build their climate adaptation capacities by finding more cost-effective methods to build relationships with scientists and organizations that can assist them.
The tool is a compilation of relatively easy-to-use online interactive tools, maps, and graphs to assist planners and emergency managers in the state of Oklahoma who are assessing their long-term climate risks, both historically and in the future.

NOAA’s Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) is announcing four new one-year projects that aim to expand the capabilities of the National Integrated Drought Information System’s (NIDIS) regional Drought Early Warning Systems. The competitively selected projects total $673 thousand for grants. Since 1980, droughts have caused roughly $250 billion in damages in the United States. Extreme events

NOAA’s COCA and SARP Programs are announcing 11 new two-year projects that will help coastal communities grapple with and assess risks to their water resources management from high tide flooding, extreme precipitation events, and sea level rise. Inspired by work resulting from past SARP and COCA projects, this new research addresses the need to collaboratively
NOAA CPO’s Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) Sustainable Fisheries in a Changing Climate Program is announcing five new projects to support resilient Northeast fishing communities. The new projects will improve understanding of socio-economic impacts from changing climate and ocean conditions on fishing communities from Cape Hatteras, NC through Maine. Ultimately, the results will help

NOAA’s Climate Program Office (CPO), part of NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, is announcing a total of $22.8 million in competitive awards to support 62 new projects 1. The diverse set of new projects ranges from explaining long-term trends in atmospheric composition to supporting resiliency in fishing communities. Universities and other research institutions spread
Our planet has been baking under the sun this summer as temperatures reached the hottest ever recorded and heat waves spread across the globe. While the climate continues to warm, scientists expect the frequency and intensity of heat waves to increase. However, a commonly overlooked aspect is the spatial size of heat waves, despite its important implications.
Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study Read More »
