Resilient NJ: Local Planning for Climate Change Toolkit
The toolkit guides municipalities through the process of creating a climate change-related vulnerability assessment and developing local climate resilience strategies, as required by changes to New Jersey’s Municipal Land Use Law signed into law in February 2021.
Ocean at the Door Map
The Ocean at the Door map shows the vulnerability of old and new housing stock to rising seas plus chronic floods, helping homeowners, planners, renters, and real-estate investors understand the consequences of the changing climate for coastal property. Potential flood exposure maps are generated by comparing land elevation to the height of a typical once-a-year flood, plus local sea level rise projections over time.

NASA Earth Observations for Electric Utility Applications StoryMap
To make NASA Earth observation (EO) data more accessible for electric utilities and other energy management sector end users, this StoryMap outlines data sources for key variables, parameters, and environmental issues, with a focus on easy to use and access datasets, products, and visualization tools relevant for electric utility applications. People who work with electric utilities can use it to find information related to energy management, renewable energy, and climate resilience.
Texas Temperature Trends Dashboard
This dashboard presents trends in extreme heat, extreme cold, warm nights, heating and cooling degree days, seasonal average temperatures, seasonal extreme temperatures, and yearly average temperatures from 1970-2019 for 75 stations in Texas. The graphs show both individual data points for each year and overall trend lines and can be downloaded as images. The dashboard also includes a link to a fact sheet discussing the temperature indicators shown in the tool and their importance.
National Marine Ecosystem Status (NaMES)
Marine ecosystems provide food, jobs, security, well-being, and other services to millions of people across the U.S., yet they and the people that rely on them are facing increasingly complex challenges. Tracking the status and trends of ocean and coastal ecosystems is critically important to understand how these ecosystems are changing and to identify potential issues.
High Plains Regional Climate Center Climate Summaries
Each year, the High Plains Regional Climate Center assembles climate summaries that provide an overview of conditions on monthly, quarterly, and annual time scales.
Each monthly climate summary is released on the 5th business day of the following month, each quarterly climate summary is released on or around the 3rd Thursday of the following quarter, and each annual climate summary is released on the 5th business day of the following year.
Current and archived climate summaries are available on the site.
