Convergence represents a collaboration among climatologists, public health researchers and professionals, environmental scientists, social science researchers, and community stakeholders to identify and address the impact of extreme weather and climate events on communities in the Carolinas.
This online resource provides Carolinas-focused information about extremes (drought, heavy rainfall) and normal precipitation patterns. The atlas includes over 1,000 downloadable maps and figures characterizing various measures of precipitation and drought. It offers information not readily available from other sources, such as frequency and duration of both dry and wet events and photographs, videos, graphics, and narratives focused on the impacts of notable drought and heavy precipitation events in the Carolinas.
This online vulnerability viewer was developed for the Puerto Rico Climate Change Council and is intended to provide a preliminary assessment of coastal resources and infrastructure at risk due to climate change and sea level rise in the islands of Puerto Rico.
Datasets available in the viewer include:
This online, Spanish-language viewer allows users to visualize changes in Puerto Rico's coastal areas since the year 1930, providing a quick understanding of coastal land cover changes resulting from processes such as natural hazard exposure, modification of natural barriers, coastal erosion, coastal urban development, and others. The tool can also be used to identify areas for potential ecological restoration, community-based projects, and scientific studies.
