Policy & Planning
Department:August 4, 2020Join three heat experts to talk about how we map, monitor, and lessen the impacts of urban heat islands.
Department:June 22, 2020Volunteers in three states are recording changes to their local beaches, information that's vital to protecting and restoring their seashores.
Department:May 19, 2020A zero-emissions path would provide significant air quality benefits for the city and surrounding counties.
Department:March 18, 2020NOAA 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.
