MAPP-funded research shows that the inclusion of zooplankton biomass in models could improve models’ representation of ocean biogeochemistry.
As part of an ongoing partnership in the region focused on the development of climate services for adaptation and resilience, NOAA’s Adaptation Sciences program provided funding to Blue Sky Development Consulting to support experts in the design and implementation of an assessment of the state of climate and health science, priorities, and adaptive capacity in the Caribbean.
The NOAA Adaptation Sciences Program is excited to host a webinar titled “Research for Action on Climate Change and Health in the Caribbean.”
More than 10 CPO staff, research team members, and interns will attend and present on climate-related topics at the 2023 American Meteorological Society (AMS) meeting. The presentations represent a total of 19 abstracts. As leaders in the field, some of the staff will lead sessions and town halls while others are supporting authors. See the full list of CPO presentations at AMS below.
