Storm surge—the abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides—can lead to saltwater flooding of locations far inland from the coast. This map can help identify which neighborhoods are vulnerable to such flooding when hurricanes, tropical storms, or nor'easters arrive.
The map displays the following data:
AgroClimate is an innovative web resource for decision support and learning covering the southeastern United States. The website provides interactive tools and climate information to improve crop management decisions and reduce production risks associated with climate variability, climate change, and extreme weather events. Users can monitor variables of interest such as growing degree days, chill hours, freeze risk, disease risks for selected crops, and current and projected drought conditions.
Because large portions of Orleans Parish are already below sea level, 1
The Gulf Coast Prairie LCC Conservation Planning Atlas is a platform that allows users to discover, access and integrate existing spatial data layers and maps for use in analysis and conservation planning.
Climate change can contribute to increased production of plant-based allergens, and higher pollen concentrations and longer pollen seasons can increase allergic sensitizations and asthma episodes. Meanwhile, extreme rainfall and rising temperatures can foster indoor air quality problems, including the growth of indoor fungi and molds.
The North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC) Conservation Planning Atlas (CPA) is a free science-based mapping platform that allows user to view, retrieve, and perform analyses on spatial information with specific conservation goals in mind.
The CPA provides a platform for creating galleries to showcase a cohesive collection of spatial information and supporting documentation.
