New York Climate Change Science Web Archive

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: May, 2014

Description:

New York State is poised to become a leader in planning for and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Climate change science is a broad and diverse field, and sorting through and understanding the amount and detail of scientific information available is a challenge to scientists, engineers, policy makers and practitioners alike. To address these challenges the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM), Cornell University, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) and the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have teamed up to create the New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse (NYCCSC). Funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the NYCCSC will be a regional, web-based interface for accessing data, documents, maps and information relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation across New York State. Because the site is meant as a portal for discovery of a broad range of information held and maintained elsewhere, this collection will serve as an archive of the changing content climate change websites relevant to and discoverable via the NYCCSC.

Title: Green Infrastructure: Estimating Monetized Benefits of Groundwater Recharge from Stormwater Retention Practices

URL: http://www.epa.gov/green-infrastructure/estimating-monetized-benefits-groundwater-recharge-stormwater-retention/

Description: "EPA encourages green infrastructure for urban areas because of their benefits to water quality and stream channel protection. Groundwater recharge is a co-benefit of reducing excess stormwater runoff volume associated with impervious areas. This study was commissioned to estimate the groundwater recharge benefits from application of small storm retention practices on new development and redevelopment nationwide." -- from the website, 1/16/2017

Title: Environmental Health Resources for Community Members: Local Government Climate Adaptation Training

URL: http://www.epa.gov/localadaptationtraining/

Description: "Communities are facing a changing world – a world of warmer temperatures, less predictable weather patterns, and rising sea levels. While impacts vary by location, these and other impacts threaten the reliable delivery of many community services. This resource discusses how climate change is affecting community services, presents sample adaptation strategies, gives examples of successful community adaptation actions, and provides links to other key federal resources." -- from the website, 1/22/2017
