A new study suggests that fine particulate pollution over the Pacific Northwest could double to triple during late summer to fall by the end of this century under intermediate- and low-mitigation climate scenarios. Even with strong mitigation efforts, pollution in the western US may increase ~50 percent by mid-century during August and September.

Eight new postdoctoral fellows are commencing cutting-edge research projects that will contribute innovative climate science to the research community and to NOAA’s mission. These fellows are the new 2022-2024 class of NOAA Climate and Global Change (C&GC) Postdoctoral Fellows, supported by NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) and selected by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

Summary: Many remote coastal communities in Alaska currently have no formal storm history data, flood risk analysis, or way to predict and assess flooding impacts to their communities. These communities are at risk of flooding due to climate change and other coastal hazards such as storms.

Summary: Researchers identified areas vulnerable to urban growth in Pender County, North Carolina. The team analyzed land cover change, mapped wetlands in coastal areas, and used census and business data to determine the level of flood risk in areas with high urbanization. This has helped planners understand trends in the development growth of the county and informed local government planning regulations.
