Abstract:
The City of Asheville is home to the world’s largest storehouse of data measuring the Earth’s weather and climate. In 2015, Asheville became the headquarters of the National Centers for Environmental Information and the steward of over twenty-five petabytes of data consolidated on servers at the Veach-Baley Federal Complex in the city’s center. A new conference called ClimateCon will solidify Asheville as a “Climate City” and key player in developing solutions to climate change.

Abstract:
At the meeting of the North Carolina Water Resources Association, scientists discussed preliminary studies on the effects in North Carolina of global climate change due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Nothing that current scenarios of the possible effects of climate change differ widely, scientists suggest that research is needed to predict the impacts of climate change and to deal with policy questions.
