New budget request will support sustainable economic development while emphasizing equity.
NOAA scientists and several partners are taking a fresh look at persistent air pollution problems bedeviling the nation’s two largest Intermountain metro regions, Denver and Salt Lake City, from the ground, in the air, and from space, during new research projects launched this month.

Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria can impact human and ecosystem health and have led to the death of pets and livestock. Providing accurate and frequent measurements of toxins associated with cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (HABs) is important for public health and also can impact local economies. Traditional toxin sampling is ship or shore based, and requires several people to be involved and good weather conditions. A new system developed by NOAA and partners offers a robotic alternative that could solve many of the problems associated with traditional sampling and might help develop more detailed warning systems and forecasts for lake communities.
As atmospheric greenhouse gas levels continue to rise, it is important to understand the basics of what these gases are, how NOAA monitors them, and what they mean for our global climate. Continue reading to learn all about carbon dioxide and why it keeps making headlines.
As climate change continues to supercharge storms that threaten existing infrastructure, there’s an urgent need to modernize estimates of probable maximum precipitation and improve the science behind them.
