Climate Services Clearinghouse
The Climate Services Clearinghouse draws together climate services and products across sectors, from NOAA, non-NOAA government agencies, academia, and the private sector. As a result, it enables providers to identify and fix overlap and gaps in existing services. It also enables site visitors to locate any service of interest. Climate Services Clearinghouse


Communicating Urgency, Facilitating Social Change: New Strategies for Climate Change
The goals are to take stock of what is known in pertinent fields and identify the connections between them. Specifically we will foster communication across the disciplinary, paradigmatic and academic/praxis lines in order to push forward our research agenda and to delineate the state-of-the-art and developing a research and action agenda within the context of climate change Communicating Urgency, Facilitating Social Change


Flood Damage in the United States: A Reanalysis of National Weather Service Estimates
The flood damage estimates presented in this website are compiled from NWS records and publications, supplemented by reports of other federal and state agencies. The accompanying report includes an evaluation of the accuracy of the estimates and recommendations for users of the data. Flood Damage in the United States

Policy, Politics, and Science in the White House: Conversations with Presidential Science Advisors
Through this series we seek to document how science is used and perhaps sometimes misused in policy and politics. Using an interview format we will articulate the theme by discussing with each presidential science advisor a significant science policy issue or issues that arose during his tenure.

Scales of Decision-Making and the Carbon Cycle
This project will examine the relationship of scales in carbon cycle science to scales needed for decision-making. Scales of Decision-Making and the Carbon Cycle


Science Policy Assessment and Research on Climate
Each day, in the face of deep uncertainty, millions of decisions are made that respond to and influence the behavior of climate. How does the nation's multi-billion dollar investment in climate research affect those decisions? How can the societal value ofthis scientific investment be enhanced? These are the core organizing questions for the NSF-funded project, Science Policy Assessment and Research on Climate (SPARC). SPARC


SP Grads
The SPGrads site is for graduate students and early-career scientists interested in issues of science and technology policy. The site includes the SPGrads listserv, an email forum for discussion of a wide range of subjects related to science policy, technology policy and technology assessment. It also includes information on opportunities (jobs, internships, fellowships, etc.) in the science and technology policy field, and past and upcoming events. SP Grads


State of the Carbon Cycle Report
The State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR) is a broadly conceived activity "designed to provide accurate, unbiased, and policy-relevant scientific information concerning the carbon cycle to a broad range of stakeholders." The two overarching objectives for the SOCCR are to summarize scientific knowledge about carbon cycle properties and changes, and to provide scientific information for decision support and policy formulation concerning carbon.
