Model helps Wisconsin city planners prepare to weather large storms
March 31, 2015
Floodwaters from Lake Mendota and Lake Monona could reach clear across central Madison's isthmus. If Lake Mendota breaks its banks, officials would be forced to close down Dane County Regional Airport.

CCR's interactive mapping website for the Great Lakes Region has been expanded
March 18, 2015

CCR's interactive mapping website for the Great Lakes Region has been expanded to include 4 CMIP5 global climate models, which have been dynamically downscaled using RegCM4 coupled to a one-dimensional lake model. The site allows you to map projected changes in dozens of variables by the mid- and late 21st century, according to the RCP8.5 emission scenario.

Consistent evidence of increasing Antarctic accumulation with warming
March 16, 2015

CCR scientist Feng He is the coauthor on a recent paper in Nature Climate Change exploring the Antarctica¹s contribution to global mean sea level rise under global warming. The study provides evidence from ice-core data and paleoclimate modeling that there is a quasi-linear relationship between warming and accumulation changes over the Antarctica. In addition, the study shows that the derived relationship agrees with the latest generation of GCM simulations from CMIP5 archive and high-resolution simulation by a regional atmospheric model.

Michael Notaro presented a two part webinar on integrating climate modeling
March 12, 2015

Dr. Michael Notaro and collaborator, Dr. Michael Schummer, presented initial results from their Northeast Climate Science Center project and related projects in a webinar on March 12, 2015, which was co-sponsored by the Northeast Climate Science Center and Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative. Dr. Schummer's talk was on the topic of "A Weather Severity Index for estimating influences on climatic variability on waterfowl populations, waterfowl habitat, and hunter opportunity demographics." Dr. Notaro's talk was on the topic of "Application of dynamical downscaling to generate projections of winter severity, with implications for waterfowl migration and deer survival." The webinar had 125 participants.

CCR hosts the first UW Climate Change Symposium
March 5, 2015

On March 5th and 6th, CCR hosted the first UW Climate Change Symposium, featuring speakers from various campus departments and keynote lectures by Professor Steve Long of the University of Illinois. The symposium included a panel discussion on climate change and agriculture, as well as a student poster session showcasing UW undergraduate and graduate climate research. Approximately 200 visitors attended the symposium, which was co-sponsored by seven other departments and centers across campus.

Engineers are making strides in reducing air pollution
February 27, 2015
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average adult breathes 3,000 gallons of air per day — yet the same air that fuels our bodies also can harm them. In fact, inhaling certain air pollutants can worsen conditions such as asthma, and studies estimate that thousands of people die prematurely each year due to air pollution.

Climate change driving brutal winter?
February 18, 2015
Prolonged cold snaps on the East Coast, California drought and frozen mornings in the South all have something in common – the atmospheric jet stream which transports weather systems that’s taken to meandering all over North America.
