Competitive climate research program

Record-breaking heat and scorching summer wildfires are signs of a hotter California. Both grants will benefit disadvantaged communities in particular. Climate change could exacerbate existing inequities, and LCI will develop tools to help government agencies target responses and empower communities.

The researchers include R. Jisung Park , an LCI scholar and an assistant professor of public policy and environmental health sciences at UCLA Luskin, who will assess climate change impacts on low-income workers. Download Information Sheet. Program Site. In FY22, the AC4 Program is soliciting research proposals for the following competition: Fire and smoke at the wildland-urban interface. This timescale bridges the weather and climate continuum and is an expanding area of research interests in support of NOAA extended-range to seasonal operational forecast systems.

Additionally, improving key processes associated with precipitation can provide benefits for information on timescales of weather through climate change. Outcomes from the proposed projects will be used to further the development of a possible field campaign in this region.

Type 1 proposals are project-based. Type 2 proposals should include a team plan to organize and lead Task Force activities. In FY22, ERB is soliciting proposals on atmospheric aerosols and their potential roles in solar climate intervention methods. In FY22, the Coping with Drought: Ecological Drought competition will be focused on research and tools to improve our understanding and management of drought risk in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems to inform more deliberate and expanded decision-making that supports sustainable, healthy and resilient ecosystems.

In FY22, the Coping with Drought: Building Tribal Drought Resilience competition will be focused on the implementation of actions - together with research on those actions - to build tribal drought resilience contained in existing plans and strategies.

Our Philosophy CPO provides strategic vision, leadership, and grant funds that produce relevant and timely climate science information, tools, data products, and expertise.

About the Climate Program Office To predict the weather — including extreme events — we have to understand both climate variability and change. The rising frequency and severity of extreme weather and climate events is taking a heavy toll on the U.

CPO supports U. Navy and Air Force to advance weather and climate prediction capabilities; We help shipping industries navigate the rapidly changing Arctic; We help farmers, foresters and land managers better manage their risks and opportunities; We help municipal planners, health care providers, and concerned citizens anticipate and plan for extreme heat; and We help commercial fisheries and resource managers understand how climate variability and change affects marine ecosystems.

John A. The fellow is a graduate student with an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. American Meteorological Society Graduate Fellowships CPO supports three AMS graduate fellows every year who are outstanding first-year graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in the atmospheric or related sciences.

Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science internship CPO supports four SOARS proteges annually, who can be graduate or undergraduate students, from groups underrepresented in the atmospheric sciences.
