New York Climate Change Science Web Archive

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.

URL: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.shtml

Description: "The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services has been measuring sea level for over 150 years, with tide stations of the National Water Level Observation Network operating on all U.S. coasts. Changes in Mean Sea Level (MSL), either a sea level rise or sea level fall, have been computed at 128 long-term water level stations using a minimum span of 30 years of observations at each location. These measurements have been averaged by month to remove the effect of higher frequency phenomena (e.g. storm surge) in order to compute an accurate linear sea level trend. The trend analysis has also been extended to 240 global tide stations using data from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL)." -- from the website, 9/9/2015

URL: http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/usseabed/index.html

Description: "usSEABED provides data on sediment and rock distributions in the waters off the United States ... Information about seafloor characteristics from the beach to the deep sea improves the understanding of interactions between land and sea, effects of river discharge and sea level changes, distributions of benthic flora and fauna, location and type of resources, potential consequences of human activities on the oceans, and other critical issues. Large- and small-scale maps of the seabed, as well as reliable data over broad geographical areas, allow for integrated insights into these issues and more ... To assist in addressing these issues, the USGS and the University of Colorado are creating usSEABED. The datasets of usSEABED currently hold georeferenced point data for more than 300,000 data sites in U.S. waters from the beach to the deep sea, rivers, lakes, and estuaries." -- from the website, 1/23/2017

URL: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4940.html

Description: "Tidal wetlands in New York State are found on the Hudson River from the Troy Dam south to the southern tip of Staten Island, and along the entire shoreline of Long Island, including the shorelines of Gardiners Island, Shelter Island and Fishers Island. New York State recognized the importance of this unique habitat and sought to insure its protection from filling and dredging--human activities that had drastically reduced the amount of tidal wetlands in New York by passing the Tidal Wetland Act in 1973. In 1974 DEC collected a set of aerial infrared photographs of all the tidal wetlands on Long Island and along the lower Hudson River. Using these photographs, DEC established the New York State Official Tidal Wetlands Inventory, a set of maps delineating and classifying all the tidal wetlands in New York. These maps are used by DEC and other municipal agencies to control and manage the development, filling and dredging of areas in and around New York's valuable tidal wetlands. This Inventory is also available to the general public to examine. Many individuals wish to consult these maps before undertaking any building or landscaping along the shoreline. The statutory definition of a tidal wetland can be found in New York's Environmental Conservation Law, Article 25, entitled "Tidal Wetlands Act." -- from the website, 9/26/2015

Title: NYC Flood Maps, New York City Flood Maps

URL: http://www1.nyc.gov/site/floodmaps/index.page

Description: "FEMA creates Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) that highlight flood risk and determine flood insurance and building code requirements. These maps identify areas that are at high risk of flooding." -- from the website, 6/18/2016 " FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps are not the Evacuation Maps, and often get confused. While both maps are important, they serve different purposes. An easy way to remember is: flood maps use letters to determine risk and evacuation maps use numbers to help you know when to evacuate." -- from the website, 6/18/2016
