Needs Assessments on Climate Change??
Have any of you been involved or know about needs assessment in you state or region, on climate change adaptation. I am trying to evaluate different processes for undertaking a full needs assessment so if you have an example or case studies, especially of those done at a larger scale, like at a state level, please let me know. I'm looking for specific examples of those that either took place recently or are ongoing.
Thanks,
Vicky

Hi Vicky,
I'd like to add to this that Adrienne Antoine at NOAA is also looking for needs assessments on sea level rise for the National Climate Assessment. You may want to contact her - and other network folks, if you have any to add please send them to both Vicky and Adrienne!

Kat and others - It would be good if people could post them here, so that we all can see them.
Here is one that might be useful as well from the Great Lakes. http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/ftp/publications/tech_reports/glerl-153/t...
Kat - I did look at the Coastal Training Program Assessment from Padilla Bay, but the links are broken for the survey
thanks all.

Earth's mantle affects long-term sea-level rise estimates
New findings reveal that the U.S. shoreline -- from Virginia to Florida -- has been uplifted by more than 210 feet, meaning less ice melted than expected. This is big news for scientists who use the coastline to predict future sea-level rise.Bacterium from Canadian high Arctic offers clues to possible life on Mars
The recent discovery of a bacterium that is able to thrive at minus 15 degrees Celsius, the coldest temperature ever reported for bacterial growth, is exciting because it offers clues about some of the necessary preconditions for microbial life on Mars.NASA ships sensors for seafaring satellite to France
Three NASA-built instruments that are integral components of the next in a series of U.S./European ocean altimetry satellites have arrived in France for integration with their spacecraft in preparation for a 2015 launch. Jason-3 will extend the two-decade series of satellites that are tracking global sea level changes and enabling more accurate weather, ocean and climate forecasts.
