New PRBO Report: Projecting the Effects of Climate Change on California
This new report summarizes the published literature on the predicted effects of climate change with an emphasis on consequences for wildlife. The information contained in the report could serve to inform climate change adaptation plans as well as general conservation plans such as the CA Wildlife Action Plan.

NOAA Climate Services Portal
The NOAA Climate Services Portal is designed to be the “go-to” website for NOAA’s climate data, products and services for all users.
Climate Program Office: Understanding Climate Variability and Change
The Climate Program Office was established to provide strategic guidance and oversight of the agency’s climate science and services programs. It manages the competitive research program by funding high-priority climate science through a grant process. This website provides current funding opportunities and status of funded projects.
Coastal Climate Adaptation
A community website designed for state and local officials to see what their colleagues are doing with regard to adaptation to climate change and share their own adaptation resources. The site also includes basic climate change information, links to adaptation trainings, and useful outreach materials.
Climate Research
NOAA conducts a wide range of research into complex climate systems and how they work. These scientists want to improve their ability to predict climate variations in both the short term (cold spells and drought) and over the longer term (centuries and beyond).
Coastal Services Center Climate Site
The NOAA coastal Services Center provides the data, tools and information that communities need
to understand the impacts of climate variability and change and to take the steps necessary to plan for, respond to, and adapt to climate risks. This website links to resources for data access, training, and more.
Ocean and Coastal Resource Management Climate Change Site
Find out how NOAA’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management is helping to address the potential impacts of climate change along the coast in such ways as the Coastal Zone Management Program, the National Marine Protected Areas, and the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.
Climate Prediction Center
The Climate Prediction Center provides climate forecasts from six to ten days out to seasonal forecasts to 14 months. It provides U.S. weather and drought assessments and tracks various climate variability indices. Insert one sentence on what is at the website.
Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)
The Integrated Ocean Observing System is a federal, regional, and private-sector partnership working to enhance our ability to collect and deliver data and information needed to increase understanding of our oceans and coasts, so decision makers can take action to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect the environment.
California Climate Tracker
Driven by the interests of the governmental, economic, and scientific communities, the goal of California Climate Tracker is to develop an objective method to define and monitor climate not only for the state as a whole, but also for its distinct climate regions.
