At COP27, the Biden-Harris Administration released the Nature-Based Solutions Roadmap highlighting the potential of nature-based solutions to address climate change, nature loss, and inequity.
NOAA researchers participated in PBS NC’s “State of Change” series and premiere event at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. The series is a statewide deep-dive on North Carolina’s changing climate.
New NOAA research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found that hurricane intensification rates near the US Atlantic coast have increased significantly over the last 40 years and will likely continue to increase in the future.
On Monday, November 14, at COP27, a US Center event will highlight international partnerships working towards net-zero and climate resilience goals. Partners include Local2030 Islands Network and the Renewable Energy for Latin America and the Caribbean initiative.
NOAA Administrator Dr. Rick Spinrad will participate in “Partnerships to Accelerate Action to Protect Blue Carbon Ecosystems for Mitigation and Adaptation” at COP27, on Tuesday, November 15.
The National Integrated Heat Health Information System’s (NIHHIS) new heat and health portal, Heat.gov, will be displayed as a side event at the US Center, on Thursday, November 17 at COP27.
The Climate Hazard Mitigation and Planning (CHaMP) Tool is an interactive website to communicate potential vulnerabilities to residents and authorities responsible for mitigation.
A new study examines ocean heat following tropical storms and hurricanes in the Caribbean from 1991 to 2020. The study finds tropical cyclones can affect ocean heat content several days after the storm's passage, even in places not directly impacted by the storm.
Population aging and economic development setbacks may outpace the health benefits of less air pollution and slowed climate change. This finding comes from a new study on air quality and the factors most likely to impact future premature deaths.
The California Current System is a southward-moving, cold-water current that causes seasonal upwelling and eddies. A new modeling study finds that eddies are projected to become more variable and intense toward the end of the century compared to a 1980-2010 baseline.
