The NC Arboretum and Department of Adult Education host a unique learning opportunity with a dynamic team of scientists from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies (NCICS). Learn from the scientists who collect and maintain weather observations, records and data sets used by partners, scientists and decision makers across public and private sectors the world over. Science-backed presentations along with discussion will place our local weather and climate within a global perspective, examining what drives Earth’s warming temperatures and the increasing extreme weather events such as hurricanes, while considering what the data show on trends and the effects on seasons and biodiversity.

NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, or NCEI, is the Nation’s leading authority for environmental data. Scientists at NCEI manage one of the largest archives of atmospheric, coastal, geophysical, and oceanic research in the world, and provide access to thousands of climate-related products and services.

The North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, or NCICS, is an NC State University research institute co-located with NOAA NCEI in Asheville, North Carolina. NCICS facilitates climate-related research in order to expand our understanding of the Earth system and its interactions with human activities.

Instructors for this course are: Deke Arndt, Tom Maycock, Douglas Rao, Jared Rennie, Carl Schreck, Emma Scott, and Laura Stevens
