This interactive mapping tool provides a dataset and approach for combining environmental and demographic socioeconomic indicators. EJScreen indicators are publicly-available data and this tool provides a method for viewing this information and combining environmental and demographic indicators into environmental justice indices.

These maps compare the extent and severity of the ongoing event to the peak coral heat stress of the three prior events.

In contrast with the global models used for the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report, a new model offers a 10-fold improvement in spatial resolution over the contiguous United States, to better resolve cities, mountain valleys, thunderstorms, and urban-to-rural air quality variations.

The Department of Commerce and NOAA have announced $4.55 million in funding for two virtual centers of excellence to support community heat monitoring and resilience. One center will be based out of Durham, North Carolina. The other will be based out of Los Angeles.

A record-warm April marked the eleventh consecutive month of record-setting global temperatures.
