Summary: To restore function in a degraded but historically, culturally, and ecologically important watershed on O‘ahu’s Eastern Coast, The Nature Conservancy worked closely with local partners and used an adaptive management approach to ensure successful wetland restoration.

A new study links the record-low Arctic sea ice extent in 2012 tropical sea surface temperatures. The study finds that back-to-back La Niña events in 2010 and 2011, followed by a marginal El Niño may have affected Arctic sea ice.

Summary: This online tool was created to help state and local emergency managers, environmental or health agencies, and anyone who may not be familiar with EPA resources that help build community resilience to disasters.

Despite the ongoing La Niña cooling the tropical Pacific, 2022 is virtually certain to be one of the 10 warmest years in the historical record.

An annual survey is underway to provide fisheries and oceanographic data to support sustainable management of the fast-changing Bering Sea. These surveys help decision makers better understand the impacts of events such as sea ice loss.

A new NOAA study finds that reducing particulate air pollution in Europe and North America has contributed to an increase in the number of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic basin, and a decrease in the number of these storms in the Southern Hemisphere.

A newly published study suggests a major sea-surface freshening during the mid-20th century, and a southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, affecting tropical rainfall patterns.

NOAA, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System, and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Climate Change and Health Equity have launched a new public information series called the Climate and Health Outlook. Melding weather forecasts and health resources, the Outlook aims to reduce high-heat health risks and save lives.

As the ENSO blog turns 8, we're looking at the present nobody wanted: a La Niña three-peat looks increasingly likely this winter.

Summary: This planning framework provides recommended heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and building measures to minimize occupant exposures and health impacts from smoke during wildfire and prescribed burn events.
