Co-occurring California Droughts and Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwaves to Become Dramatically More Frequent, Study Says
Results show the increasing frequency of these compound extremes is strongly driven by human-caused warming and drying trends.

What Caused a Quiet Hurricane Season in the North Pacific?
Tropical cyclones are one of the most intense storm systems on earth and nearly one-third of global tropical cyclones form in the western North Pacific. So why was the 2020 season quiet? A new MAPP-funded study helps answer this question.

NOAA Announces FY22 Multi-stressor Federal Funding Opportunity
NOAA is soliciting proposals to increase our understanding of the combined impacts of multiple stressors, including harmful algal blooms, deoxygenation, ocean acidification, and increasing temperatures, on the function and health of marine ecosystems within the context of climate change. NOAA expects to fund 1–2 projects for up to four years in duration, with an approximate annual budget of $1 million, not to exceed $4 million in total.

Climate Scientists Predict Rapid Increase in High-Tide Flooding for Majority of U.S. Coastlines in the Next Decade
The combined effects of sea-level rise and natural fluctuations in tidal range are anticipated to cause tipping points in the frequency of high-tide flooding. These tipping points can produce acute impacts in underserved communities, who are often unprepared to deal with the consequences.
Study Helps Reduce Uncertainty in Projecting the Arctic’s First Ice-free Summer
New research tackles the uncertainty in the latest generation of global climate models’ (CMIP6) projections of the first ice-free Arctic summer.
