Highlights

Climate Assessments

• Web development support for globalchange.gov, including
  implementation of an extensive list of requested enhancements.
• Design and programming of the website for the U.S. Globa
  Change Research Program’s Climate and Health Assessment.
  The website is now available at
  http://health2016.globalchange.gov/.
  This site is fully
  responsive, i.e., the site adjusts to the current screen width,
  be it on a phone, a tablet, or a desktop display. Metadata has
  been collected for every figure in the report and is easily
  viewable on the website.

In preparation for the completion of the U.S. State Climate
Summary project, a new site was designed and implemented in
Drupal. The development site includes a prototype of the home
page, a clickable map of the 50 states, and fact sheets
rendered as HTML pages. The project team will be dealing with
over 1000 figures later this year.

Climate Literacy, Outreach, Engagement, and Communications

• Continuing work on monitor.cicsnc.org, which provides
  access to a variety of exploratory tools for accessing and
  viewing climate and weather data.
• Development of a new version of the Institute website is
  now underway, with completion expected in summer 2016. The site
  will follow NCSU branding guidelines while highlighting the
  expertise and activities of NCICS and CICS-NC.
• Developed HTML version of the Fall 2015 issue of the
  CICS-NC newsletter for distribution to stakeholders via email.
