This year's hole in the ozone layer was slightly smaller than last year, and well below the peak size in 2006.

The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory seeks high school teachers and classrooms to join its Adopt-a-Float program. Floats will measure ocean variables to understand the impacts of climate and ecosystem changes.

Great Lakes region's relatively low risk of climate hazards and abundant natural resources make it a possible destination for climate migration. New web tools facilitate planning for regional population growth.

A new study finds that California wildfire emissions from the last five years are more than five times greater than the emissions from the previous four decades. The study also shows the importance of vegetation and fire severity in controlling wildfire distribution.

A new study shows the usefulness of environmental forecasts for managing marine mammals. Integrating species distribution models with subseasonal forecasts can predict the arrival of migratory humpback whales one to two weeks in advance.

NOAA’s Climate Program Office has just announced a total annual award of $15.2 million to support 63 new, innovative, and impactful projects to improve our nation’s resilience at a critical time in the fight against the climate crisis.
