A Climate and Environmental Risks Impacts Assessment for Jet Propulsion Laboratory

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in concert with NASA's Climate Adaptation Science Investigators (CASI) activity, is developing a climate change impacts assessment (CCIA) to help characterize JPL's vulnerabilities to climate change, including impacts on the surrounding Los Angeles basin where most of its workforce lives.  This assessment is intended to provide decision-support information for adaptation and mitigation efforts to help laboratory and local decision-makers address these vulnerabilities.
