2/08/2011: At the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) Summit on February 8, 2011, the release of the first WICCI report, "Wisconsin's Changing Climate: Impacts and Adaptation," was announced. The report may be accessed at WICCI Publications. Chapter 1 of the report summarizes the findings of the Climate Working Group, including CCR researchers.
2/08/2011: The WICCI Summit was held on February 8, 2011. The WICCI climate analog webtool is available online. The tool can be found at http://www.wicci.wisc.edu/climate-map.php.
1/22/2011: A new video, "How is Wisconsin's Climate Changing?" was produced through WICCI and the Nelson Institute and can be watched at http://www.wicci.wisc.edu/climate-change.php. Climate Wisconsin has produced a series of videos and interactive pages on climate change, available at http://climatewisconsin.org. These videos are based on projections from the Climate Working Group of WICCI.
