The new tool developed by researchers offers an interactive way to view up to two millennium’s worth of paleoclimate data around the globe.
Health Effects of Global Warming/What is Global Warming?
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

‘A new tool to visualize global climate change has been developed.’
Tree Ringer Viewer: Provides visual access to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s international tree-ring data bank, the world's largest public archive of historical tree ring data. More than 4,000 sites on six continents are included. Not only do these rings tell the age of a tree, but also the climatic conditions during its lifetime.
Forest Stress Viewer: PIRE researchers have turned to more than a century’s worth of data (from 1901 to 2012) from NOAA’s international tree-ring data bank to analyze historical tree growth.
Quiz on Global Warming
The International Conference on Global Warming (GCGW-2012) will be held in Istanbul, Turkey on July 8-12, 2012. Take this quiz to learn what causes global warming, how it can affect your health, and what can be your contribution to contain it.

PHYDA Climate Globe: Visually maps 2,000 years of reconstructed temperature and hydroclimate trends onto a global interface, in turn taking an expansive database and translating it into a web-based visualization platform for streamlined presentation, customized data download options and interactive collaboration.

Post-COVID-19 Global Warming Will Depend on Climate-Friendly Choices
The fall in carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other emissions by between 10-30% globally and the massive behavioral shifts seen during lockdown will only have a tiny impact on the climate, mainly because the decrease in emissions from confinement measures is temporary.

In 2017, Mathias Vuille, a professor in UAlbany’s Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (DAES), teamed up with six institutions and 18 investigators from the United States, Brazil and Argentina to gain valuable insight on how and why Earth’s climate has varied naturally over the past thousand years.

Natural Gas Storage Reduces Global Warming
New plastic-based materials hold a strong promise for combating global warming, said researchers.

The team has collaborated with AVAIL over the last year to translate the research into easy-to-use visualization tools that can help to better inform climate change policies, research and decision-making at a global scale.
“Just having numbers and large datasets is not going to convince most people of the real societal dangers of global climate change,” said Vuille. “We’re grateful to AVAIL for translating our work into a non-scientific language, letting people see it with their own eyes. Even if you’re not a climate scientist, you can still appreciate the hard work and expertise that goes into building something like this.”
“We know that visualizations can be very powerful,” added Catherine T. Lawson, director of AVAIL and associate professor in UAlbany’s Department of Geography and Planning. “Through great collaboration with Mathias and his team we are able to offer them a new and unique way to share their research with the world.”
In addition to the visualization tools, PIRE leaders are hosting a series of international forums to educate scientists, government officials, legislators, ministry staff and other key stakeholders on their climate change projections over the next century.
The project is running through at least August 2023. You can learn more here.
