Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
This monograph presents key information to federal, state and local agencies that could potentially help lower barriers to understanding the impacts of climate change in local policies, regulations and infrastructure designs.
This is just one output from CPO’s Coastal Inundation Risk Team, encouraging on-the-ground citizen science through the use of interactive visual tools.

Improvements in flood predictability along the Mississippi River by a COM-funded study use a high-quality dataset spanning the past 1,000 years to link tropical Pacific and North Atlantic patterns to regional hydroclimate.
New modeling framework supported by CVP uses Hurricane Harvey as a case study to improve the predictability over the next seventy years of precipitation and flooding due to hurricanes and climate change.
The study, published in the Journal of Weather and Climate Extremes, found that the use of ensemble-based flood forecasting systems are more advanced than single forecasting systems, as they provide better information that can be used in emergency management decision making in the event of a disaster.
The study, published in the Journal of Scientific Reports, reveals that annual expected atmospheric river-related flood damages in the western United States could increase significantly, raising important questions for policymakers aiming to target efforts to more effectively adapt to climate change.
The four projects enable a total of seven RISA teams to apply successful regional experience to national outcomes.
