Summary: Residents and planners in Richmond, Virginia, can use this tool to explore factors—including social equity—that could make their neighborhood more susceptible to impacts from climate change and other health and natural crises.

Although the West Coast continental shelf has long been known to host methane bubble streams, scientists used to think those streams were rare. A new study in Frontiers of Earth Science suggests there are more than 1,300 emission sites between California and Canada.

Piecing together Earth’s climate history, tracking marine heat waves, and sharing weather and climate modeling code are just a few of the ways NOAA scientists advanced understanding of the Earth system in 2020.

“Blue carbon” is carbon dioxide that the world’s ocean ecosystems remove from the atmosphere, through algae, mangroves, and other means. CPO has developed a briefing sheet for the newly launched NOAA Blue Carbon Inventory (BCI) Project you can review to learn more.

Forest Service personnel have turned to NOAA’s Climate Explorer tool for projections of future climate conditions. Available from the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, the tool provides climate projections for every county in the contiguous United States.

Extreme heat kills more Americans than any other weather event, but not everyone’s risk is the same. Within the same city, some neighborhoods can be up to 20°F hotter than others. In the summer of 2021, community-led campaigns will map the hottest parts of cities in 11 states: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Atlanta; New York City; Charleston, South Carolina; Kansas City, Missouri; Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina; San Diego; San Francisco; and parts of New Jersey, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Virginia.
