Sustained Assessment: Adapting Climate Information for Local and Regional Scales
The NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) program is home to a network of Sustained Assessment Specialists. This role helps to move beyond traditional climate assessments towards more integrated and usable science. Representatives from this network will introduce the emerging topic of sustained assessment, which is gaining traction with research and information-user communities. The Sustained Assessment Specialists will also discuss their experiences and lessons learned adapting climate information for local and regional applications across the country.
Anna LoPresti
of CCRUN,
Zena Grecni
of the Pacific RISA and
Benet Duncan
of Western Water Assessment will discuss their work for each of their NOAA RISA programs, including sea level rise and setback policy guidance in the City and County of Honolulu, water management in the Colorado River Basin, and the forthcoming update of the New York State Climate Assessment.
