Research: climate central scientists publish peer-reviewed research on climate science; energy; impacts such as sea level rise; climate attribution and more. Our independent research is designed to engage the public and illuminate the scientific facts of climate, using pioneering analysis and data visualization techniques. The organization launched the joint research and web project, surging seas, which provides interactive, on-line maps, timelines and analysis of local sea level rise and coastal flooding risk throughout the united states and over this century. This tool is the first-in-the-nation interactive sea level rise map and allows any american to type in their zip code to learn their community's risk of being flooded, and the timeframe, due to storm surge and sea level rise. The surging seas reports and website generated more than 800 print and on-line stories, including ny times front-page coverage; nbc, cbs and pbs national news; multiple npr programs; and original local reporting. The organization conducted research to help the public understand how climate change has dramatically increased the odds of extreme weather events as they occur. Our ability to quickly generate sophisticated and highly accurate forecasting around extreme weather events has allowed us to reach a larger audience who may be receptive to information about links between extreme weather and climate change. This maximizes our ability to connect with a captive audience and to provide valuable service to local leaders and meteorologists. The organization published 8 original research reports on climate change impacts and energy that generated more than 300 on-line, print, and broadcast stories nationwide. These reports included subjects such as carbon emissions, wildfires, climate-friendly cars and united states temperature trends.
