This FAQ was developed for the WUCA CMIP6 Working Group as guidance for water managers with little or no previous experience with CMIP6 and other climate-model datasets. The goal was to develop a dozen or so highly relevant questions — and clear responses — to aid in the use and interpretation of CMIP6 datasets, with a focus on the contiguous United States. Each question in the FAQ has a “short answer” (1–2 paragraphs) and a “long answer” (2–5 pages), including figures where appropriate, recommendations for further reading, and other references. A glossary and reference list are also available at the end of the document.

Beginning as snowmelt from Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River—often called the Lifeline of the West—supplies water to over 40 million people in seven US…

AGCI spoke with glaciologist Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, about the speed and scale of vanishing ice as a global change issue, and the critical need to make the science of vanishing ice accessible and relevant to policymakers.

SOAK is a vibrant community of social scientists, engaged researchers, and practitioners who use critical scholarship to systematically study how science is produced and used in decisions and actions. Their goal is to understand what causes scientific knowledge to become “actionable.”

The Guidebook utilizes data from AGCI’s soil moisture monitoring network in the Roaring Fork Watershed to explore how and when soil moisture data can inform water supply planning.

Meteorologist Dave Jones provided tropical updates during storms on his StormCenter Communications YouTube Channel, garnering millions of views and tens of thousands of subscribers. When…

Climate-sensitive populations, such as outdoor workers and farmworkers, often have little choice when it comes to heat exposure on the job. In this talk, we will explore the impact of working outdoors in high temperatures and discuss potential solutions to protect these workers from life-threatening heat stress. Heat-related illnesses and fatalities are preventable, and the idea that this is just an unavoidable reality is a misconception. By raising awareness and equipping workers and employers with the necessary information and resources, we can effectively reduce the incidence of heat-related illnesses and deaths.

The climate crisis and biodiversity loss are deeply interwoven, but too often considered separately from one another. Recent research demonstrates the value of a more integrated approach to the science and solutions.
