  • Supporting Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management through the Climate and Fisheries Adaptation Program, July 10, 3:00 - 4:00 pm: “The Climate and Fisheries Adaptation (CAFA) Program is an interdisciplinary research program that supports targeted research to promote sustainable management, adaptation and resilience of the Nation’s fisheries and fishing communities in a changing climate. The CAFA program supports projects that advance understanding of climate variability and change on marine ecosystems and implications for fisheries, and on the adaptation and resilience of the communities and economies that depend on them.”

  • NOAA in the Chesapeake Bay, July 17, Noon - 12:45 pm: “The presentation will provide an overview of NOAA’s involvement in the state and federal ecosystem partnership working to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay known as the Chesapeake Bay Program. It will also cover how the Chesapeake Bay Program is looking to improve beyond 2025 and highlight opportunities for NOAA to further support the Nation’s largest estuary.”

  • Tornado Tales: Citizen Scientists role in Severe Weather, July 18, 4:00 - 5:00 pm: “In this webinar you will learn about Tornado Tales, the NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) citizen science project that captures people’s experiences with tornadoes. In particular we will share: What we know and don’t know about tornado vulnerabilities; why we created the site and what its aims are around citizen science; how we use the data collected on this site to help understand how the public receive, interpret and act on information; how we augment this with fieldwork; and how you can get involved.”
