State of the Science Fact Sheets

NOAA Research Council Home >> State of the Science Fact Sheets

NOAA manages a vibrant, cutting-edge science program that focuses on research with a high relevance to society. To assist the general public in understanding the state of the science, NOAA develops State of the Science Fact Sheets about key research areas which may be of high interest to the public, and where there may be a diversity of science views within NOAA. The NOAA Research Council oversees the creation and updating of these fact sheets and we post the most recent documents here for the public.
