This video from ClimateCentral looks at the way climate conditions can affect vegetation in the West, and what influence this has on wildfires. Drought and rainfall can have very different wildfire outcomes, depending on vegetation type, extent, and location.

One strategy for combating climate change is to enhance natural processes and/or deploy new technologies that remove carbon dioxide from the air and ocean.

In this activity, students construct flying birds (pollution collectors) from paper and wire hangers. Students hang up their birds to see how they react to air pollution and compare and make observations about the differences in the birds.

A new instrument for measuring aerosols on a long-term basis has recently been installed at NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The information from the sensor could lead to more accurate weather and air quality forecasts.

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.

In this short video from ClimateCentral, host Jessica Harrop explains what evidence scientists have for claiming that recent global warming is caused by humans and is not just part of a natural cycle.

This video is the second of three short videos showcasing the dramatic changes in Alaska's marine ecosystems. The video highlights the marine mammals and birds and how they depend on Arctic sea ice, as well as questions about how these animals will cope in the face of climate change.
