The “once-in-a-decade” storm that devastated the Pacific Northwest last week caused widespread outages, damage, and at least two deaths. Data shows the storms are becoming more common. Could climate change be a key driver?

The acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric winds, leading to increased oceanic currents that are both stronger and shallower, with potential impacts on regional and global climate patterns, including El Niño and La Niña events.

Researchers modeled climate to understand what contributed to the rapid warming of the planet last year

The findings underscore the importance of further research to enhance our understanding of urban heat dynamics in subtropical and tropical regions, ensuring that heat mitigation efforts are informed by the most accurate data available.

For the past three years, undergraduate students in the Rosenstiel School have investigated how information on devastating landfalling hurricanes is created, shared, and used within a complete warning system.

Ocean tides may be rising, but a new tide forecast model created by a team of University of Miami scientists holds the promise of helping coastal communities to prepare.

Researchers deploy sensors in Miami’s neighborhoods to provide new assessment of dangerous heat conditions

Among the tools included as part of CAMP is the newest iteration of CCE’s Miami Affordability Project (MAP), which offers users a powerful, data-driven mapping tool to identify areas of need for affordable housing and environmental justice investment.
