Overview
Applied Climate Science
Applied Climate Scientists look at the impact of varying atmospheric conditions on humans, water and ecosystems (agricultural and natural). They ask questions such as: What climate information do decision makers need to improve agricultural and water resource management? What is the potential of various crops for storing carbon? How may climate change affect water resources? How will increasing temperature affect Alaskan thaw lakes? How can we better prepare for future droughts?

Applied Climate Science News
SNR welcomes a delegation of Vietnamese visitors May 7 and 8. Our 11 guests are from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and their Government Office. They’ll be taking a short course on climate change during their visit here.
Enrollment is open for Weather Camp 2012, June 11-15, which will keep middle school-aged students busy with classroom, lab and field trip learning experiences that will introduce them to careers in meteorology, climatology and related sciences.
