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.
The webinar is the first in a series that will explore relevant research and applications topics for the “Managing Water Resources Along the Coast” community of practice sponsored jointly by CPO’s COCA and SARP programs.

NOAA Atlas 14 is a project of the National Weather Service’s Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center (HDSC) that provides precipitation frequency information for the U.S. states and territories. NOAA precipitation frequency estimates serve as the de-facto standards for designing, building and operating infrastructure to withstand the forces of heavy precipitation and floods.

Flash drought can quickly deplete soil moisture and dramatically increase evaporative stress on the environment, leading to significant impacts on agriculture. A recently completed study, supported by CPO’s Sectoral Applications Research Program, performed a regional analysis across the United States to explore geographic differences of flash droughts.

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’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
