Farming pushed natural drought into disaster--and could do so again.

NEW YORK – Climate scientists using computer models to simulate the 1930s Dust Bowl on the U.S Great Plains have found that dust raised by farmers probably amplified and spread a natural drop in rainfall..

Persistent drought in North America: A Climate Modeling and Paleoclimate Perspective

Persistant Draught in North America

Over the last few years the Climate Modeling and Diagnostic Group within the Ocean and Climate Physics Division has conducted an intensive research program on the causes of hydroclimate variability and change over southwestern North America with a particular focus on persistent, multiyear, droughts.   (Details)

Ridge Multibeam Synthesis Data Portal

Climate Variability and Change Applications Research

RidgeMBS provides access to shaded relief maps, bathymetry grids and multibeam bathymetry field data from the world's mid-ocean ridges. This effort was initiated in 1993 with the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored RIDGE and Ridge 2000 programs.   (Details)
