DCL: NSF & NOAA Call for Proposals for Modeling of Catastrophic Impacts and Risk Assessment Due to Climate Change

Dear Colleagues:

Improved understanding and modeling of climate change and its associated risks and impacts on the planet's natural and built environments are critical to the resilience of communities, nationally and worldwide. The National Science Foundation Directorates for Geosciences (GEO) and for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) share a mission to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, and the ocean and coasts, including the role of human behavior in affecting and responding to these changes; share knowledge and information with others; and develop a high-quality domestic workforce knowledgeable about and able to address science and technology challenges in these areas. NOAA’s mission also addresses the conservation and management of coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. Success for NSF and NOAA depends on cutting-edge science and engineering research and the development of tools, utilities, and other technologies. [MORE...]
