Join us at The Collider for a special edition of Science Pub in celebration of Climate City Expo!
About this talk:
“You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.”
The Sustained Assessment process has produced a suite of climate change reports: The Third National Climate Assessment (NCA3), The Fourth National Climate Assessment, Volume I, and Volume II (NCA4), Regional Surface Climate Conditions in CMIP3 and CMIP5 for the United States: Differences, Similarities, and Implications for the U.S. National Climate Assessment, Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment, and NOAA’s State Climate Summaries. Not only are these groundbreaking reports on climate change science, they are also the first suite of climate science reports to provide detailed documentation on data transparency, accessibility and scientific reproducibility. Most often, these reports are discussed in context of their scientific findings as they relate to policy and decision-making. This presentation will highlight the importance in the underlying data as a partner to the recommendations for policy and decision-makers.
Speaker: Sarah Champion, Data Architect with the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies (NCICS)/North Carolina State University at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
