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: USGS iCoast

URL: http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/icoast/index.php

Description: "“USGS iCoast - Did the Coast Change?” is a USGS research project to construct and deploy a citizen science web application that asks volunteers to compare pre- and post-storm aerial photographs and identify coastal changes using predefined tags. This crowdsourced data will help USGS improve predictive models of coastal change and educate the public about coastal vulnerability to extreme storms." -- from the website, 8/5/2015

Title: Coastal Erosion Control Design - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

URL: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/86534.html

Description: "The design of coastal structures often have complex geology, drainage issues, structural conditions and wave climates that require careful consideration, planning and design which can benefit from the expertise of professional engineers and surveyors. Failure of an erosion control structure, even over a period of years, may result in loss of additional upland, threaten existing buildings and result in damage to adjacent properties. The repair of a failed structure may be as expensive as the original construction." -- from the website, 9/26/2015
