Publications

As part of our effort to push the state of climate science, CIRC team members regularly publish the results of our research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We also aggregate this work and the work of our colleagues in the climate science community into periodic climate assessments. This page is a sampling of that work and is intended for people who want to delve into the details, methods, and assumptions underlying the climate and social science our team members produce.

Climate Assessments

Think of climate assessments as the mile-high view. As their name implies, climate assessments assess. They aggregate, weigh, and judge. They gather the myriad climate reports and studies available, forming them into a whole that helps us glimpse the many ways climate change is likely to impact our lives. Because these impacts are expected to vary from region to region, climate assessments tend to highlight regional impacts. This was true of the Third National Climate Assessment, which covered, in detail, the impacts expected in several US regions. CIRC researchers participated in writing and editing the assessment’s chapter covering the Pacific Northwest. We then took everything we couldn’t fit into that single chapter report—which ended up being quite a lot—and rolled it into an extended climate assessment covering the Pacific Northwest: Climate Change in the Northwest: Implications for Our Landscapes, Waters, and Communities.
