A new NOAA Technical Report developed with federal and academic partners introduces four plausible scenarios for global sea level rise by 2100. Descriptions of the potential conditions are designed to help coastal dwellers and resource managers consider a range of possible responses.

Adam has extensive experience in coastal geomorphology and management and climate adaptation. Currently he is program manager for NOAA Climate Program Office's Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program designed to develop actionable knowledge and innovating climate services for decision makers.

The U.S. States bordering the Gulf of Mexico have been historically devastated by hurricanes and tropical storms. According to the U.S. Census, a high percentage of African American population lives in these southern Gulf States. Evidence exists that African Americans in this region have been and continue to be disproportionately devastated by the impacts of Hurricane Katrina. In particular, poor and underserved communities bore the brunt of this devastation which has led to further injustice through economical and health related destruction. Disproportionate hurricane impact on certain communities implies that addressing the factors influencing this proportionality can contribute to reducing the devastation of future hurricanes. This study identifies and visualizes socio-economic vulnerability of the African American population at the county level living in the hurricane risk areas of the Gulf States using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and further recommends approaches to utilize these GIS data to plan relief efforts, redevelop communities and build resiliency in areas vulnerable to hurricanes.

With declining budgets and travel limitations, it is challenging for data managers to keep up-to-date on the latest metadata standards and tools. In response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC) is offering Introduction to Geospatial ISO Metadata, a free, online training series beginning in January 2013.

NCDDC set out to meet the increased needs of data managers as many organizations transition from FGDC to ISO standards. Working with other metadata trainers within the community, the NCDDC Metadata Team has developed a complete package of training materials for the transition to ISO metadata standards. Conducting this training online is an innovative way to meet the increased demand for this training while controlling travel expenses. NCDDC conducted two prior metadata training series online in which over 1500 participants from 18 countries on five continents took part. The success of these efforts has led to the continuation and expansion of the training with two series of Introduction to Geospatial ISO Metadata and two series of Transitioning from FGDC to ISO Metadata already planned for 2013.

Registration is now open for the next series which will be held every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m-10:30 a.m. CST from January 15 until March 5, 2013. The series will start with an introduction to metadata, and cover topics such as XML basics, tools, and data discovery. All materials will be made available online, and instructors will be available by request for special one-on-one "My Metadata" sessions to answer specific questions for individual participants.

This analysis provides an up-to-date assessment of long term (1990-2010) rural ozone trends using all available data in the western and eastern USA. Rather than focus solely on average ozone values or violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, the study considers the full range of ozone values, reporting trends for the 5th, 50th and 95th ozone percentiles. Domestic ozone precursor emissions decreased strongly during the study period. In response, and in agreement with many recent modeling studies, rural ozone has decreased across much of the eastern US, especially at the 95th percentile and during summer. Modeling studies also conclude that decreasing domestic ozone precursor emissions in the western US should also result in ozone decreases. However, ozone decreases in the rural western US are limited, with most sites showing steady ozone levels or increasing ozone, especially in spring. This dichotomy in US ozone trends will be discussed in terms of changing anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions. Consideration will be given to the concept that increasing baseline ozone flowing into the western US is counteracting ozone reductions due to domestic emission reductions. An update to the springtime free tropospheric ozone trend above western North America shows that ozone has increased significantly from 1995-2011 at the rate of 0.41 ± 0.27 ppbv yr^-1. Finally, the ozone changes will be examined in relation to regional temperature trends.

Since 2008 the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences has issued short-term (< 1 week) forecasts for cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie. The forecasts are put out on a weekly basis during the bloom season (June 1 - October 31), and have proven to be successful in delineating bloom area and forecasting bloom dispersion. These forecasts go out to approximately 500 subscribers, which are primarily part of the public health, water management, and research communities. Building on the success of the short-term forecasts NCCOS researchers assembled ten years of ocean color climatological data. A statistical model was developed in an effort to predict seasonal abundance of peak cyanobacteria biomass prior to bloom development. The first long-term seasonal forecast was issued on July 5, 2012. Come hear how the prediction was made, how accurate it was (or wasn't), and how the forecast was preliminary validated. Basic ecology and satellite ocean color techniques will be discussed.

Tim has been at NOAA for nearly 11 years studying phytoplankton assemblages from satellite ocean color imagery, with an emphasis on Harmful Algal Bloom detection and dynamics. He has a B.S. from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Marine Science, an M.S. in oceanography from Old Dominion University, and Tim is currently enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Maryland.

The ecosystems of the Great Lakes are critical national resources, yet their large-scale functioning and interactions with climate change are poorly explained. How do physical drivers impact chemistry and ecology? How are invasive species reacting to physical change? How will the Great Lakes respond to increasing atmospheric CO2? Numerical models and data help us to answer these questions, and to identify future research priorities. This webinar will provide information about biogeochemistry, carbon cycling and invasive species in Lakes Superior and Michigan, impacts of physical change on carbon cycling and invasive species, and prospects for acidification of the Great Lakes due to CO2 uptake from the atmosphere.

Galen A. McKinley is Associate Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at University of Wisconsin - Madison and a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Climatic Research of the UW Madison's Nelson Institute. She uses numerical models and data to study how physical and biogeochemical processes influence carbon cycling and its temporal variability in the oceans and the Great Lakes.
