Integrated theme: “Providing Services for the Cascading Effects of Intensifying Heat in a Rapidly Growing Region”

The 18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) will bring together a diverse community to share developments in research and application of weather and climate information for societal decision-making. Participants will include researchers, service producers, resource managers, planners, practitioners, social scientists, and others making weather and climate-sensitive decisions. NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Services Branch, Arizona State University, the Arizona State Climate Office, and many climate services partners are collaborating in the organization of the 2020 CPASW.

Our planet has been baking under the sun this summer as temperatures reached the hottest ever recorded and heat waves spread across the globe. While the climate continues to warm, scientists expect the frequency and intensity of heat waves to increase. However, a commonly overlooked aspect is the spatial size of heat waves, despite its important implications.

Women from states in the U.S. Southeast have the highest rates of premature deliveries in the country. Extreme heat plays a role.

This two part webinar explores relevant climate research topics in the realm of Earth system science and modeling (Part I), and societal interactions (Part II)

CPO’s Hunter Jones will attend to build NOAA and NIHHIS international partnership through the Global Heat Health Information Network.
