News & Research Highlights

A new study shows models diverge in predicting warming or cooling along the West Antarctic shelf. The difference is due to the models’ differing baseline representation of the Antarctic Slope Current.

Compared to models that use predicted plant growth, models that incorporate satellite measurements of plant cover improve tracking of drought duration.

The recent workshop was part of an ongoing partnership focused on building climate resilience and adaptation in islands throughout the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Oceans.

A new report captures opportunities that Tribal Nations, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and their partners have identified to strengthen engagement and action around drought resilience.

Researchers from NOAA have produced a new online dashboard on the National Marine Ecosystem Status website that shows how ocean acidification is impacting eleven different marine ecosystems in the United States.

A new study finds that the Florida Current, a key component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, has remained stable for the past 40 years.

A newly available report, “Climate Adaptation Barriers and Needs Experienced by Northwest Coastal Tribes,” aims to better understand the state of climate adaptation among Northwest coastal Tribes.

Some scientists are exploring Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) as warming-mitigation technique. A new article calls for a comprehensive international assessment of SAI’s potential impacts, risks and benefits.

The Northwest Atlantic Shelf, from the coasts of North Carolina to Newfoundland, has warmed faster than almost any other part of the ocean. A new study forecasts a temporary warming pause, but long-term warming is projected to continue.

Extreme weather events have increased since the pre-industrial period, but the trend has regional variations. New research shows that the spatial structure will likely change under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario.
