Policy & Planning
Department:May 19, 2020A zero-emissions path would provide significant air quality benefits for the city and surrounding counties.
Department:April 2, 2020NOAA forecasts another year of widespread river flooding, and above-average temperatures are likely from coast to coast.

NOAA forecasts another year of widespread river flooding, and above-average temperatures are likely from coast to coast.
Department:January 29, 2020A new crop of studies funded by NOAA's Climate Program Office explores a range of questions about sea ice forecasting, including one of the most basic: how far ahead is it even possible to predict it?
Department:January 23, 2014In principle, we can slow the rate of global warming by slowing the emission rates of heat-trapping gases—mainly carbon dioxide—and black carbon aerosol to the atmosphere. The challenge in slowing or reducing global warming is finding a way to make these changes on a global scale that is technically, economically, socially, and politically viable.
Department:September 30, 2019Women from states in the U.S. Southeast have the highest rates of premature deliveries in the country. Extreme heat plays a role.
Department:July 29, 2019Looking for a sustainable alternative to harvesting wild seaweed, a small California company partnered with a commercial oyster grower to test-farm native seaweeds. The crop reduced pollution and buffered local ocean acidification.
Department:July 24, 2019With specially designed sensors mounted on their own cars, volunteers in each city will drive pre-planned routes, recording heat and humidity as they go. Scientists will stitch their results into a detailed map showing the hottest parts of each city.
Department:July 22, 2019From extreme heat to infectious diseases, the impacts of human-caused global warming are a threat to human lives. According to the latest National Climate Assessment, thousands of lives could be saved in the U.S. by reducing greenhouse gases and improving resilience to climate change.
Department:June 4, 2019An early heat wave broke temperature records across the Southeast over Memorial Day weekend 2019 as the mercury reached triple digits.
