NOAA Sea to Sky: Education resource database

These materials help those with a role in the public tsunami warning system better understand tsunami science and increase their communication skills.

There’s no doubt ENSO is a major heavyweight in the battle to dominate the world’s climate, which is why we obsess over conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean. But there are other climate drivers that spend time in the ring and have their moments of glory. Here, we will cover some exciting new research that suggests that the land surface, and in particular soil moisture, can sometimes impact atmospheric flows across thousands of miles!

Ever wonder the best way to talk about climate change? Felt unsure if your message is clear and connects to your audience? Effectively communicating complex issues involves sound science and an element of artistry. This webinar shares climate communication tools from the National Network of Ocean and Climate Change Interpreters (NNOCCI), as well as a way to get involved in the NOAA Planet Stewards Program.

CoCoRaHS (pronounced KO-ko-rozz) is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard weather observers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail, and snow) in their local communities. By using low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive website, CoCoRaHS aims to provide the highest quality data for natural resource, education, and research applications. The only requirements to join are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives. Anyone can use CoCoRaHS data, even if you aren't a data collector.

Get creative with this coloring page and explore some of the ways communities can become more resilient against extreme weather, climate change, and other environmental hazards.

COSMIC-2—short for Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate—is a team of six small satellites that will collect information about Earth’s weather and climate.

Regional and locally focused ​​​centers ​across the nation are available to help you build resilience to climate-related changes and impacts​ in your community​. Search for local contacts and reach out to them with your questions.

Shoreline is a dynamic interface between land and water. The cartographic depiction of shoreline is a representation at the time of survey. Continually Updated Shoreline Product (CUSP) provides the most up-to-date shoreline of the United States and its territories.

Ocean Today host Symone Johnson introduces the Coral Comeback video collection, which looks at the benefits of coral, the threats they face due to climate change, and the researchers trying to help them.

Most people are familiar with the growth rings seen in tree cross-sections, but few are aware that similar growth patterns are visible in skeletons of reef-building corals. This activity will introduce students to these growth patterns and what they can tell us about the environment in which the corals live.
