NOAA-funded researchers have developed a way to estimate hurricane strength using nothing but seismic data used to track earthquakes and volcanoes. The technique may help expand the pre-satellite record of tropical cyclone activity. 

Summary: This suite of tools—which includes a growing degree day calculator, a water deficit calculator, a winter cover crop scheduler, a drought atlas, and grape/apple freeze risk tools—helps with decision making on irrigation, crop scheduling, and more.

Summary: This site walks Gulf Coast users through a decision-support tree framework to match them with relevant climate resilience tools.

The Toolbox for Teaching Climate & Energy has been created to organize and highlight resources from numerous educational and science partners and programs all working toward the supporting teachers and education systems.
