His recent research projects include: Coastal Cities at Risk: Building Adaptive Capacity for Managing Climate Change in Coastal Megacities (Vancouver, Bangkok, Manila and Lagos); and
Marine Environmental Observations Prediction and Response.
Sullivan previously served as assistant secretary of commerce
for environmental observation and prediction and deputy NOAA administrator and performed the duties of NOAA's chief scientist.
Suomi NPP's job is to collect
environmental observations of atmosphere, ocean and land for both NOAA's weather and oceanography operational missions and NASA's research mission to continue the long - term climate record to better understand Earth's climate and long - term trends.
Loosely defined and still struggling to find its way, this newly emerging approach aims to connect the dots that have emerged from decades of molecular, cellular, organismal, and
even environmental observations.
GLOBE Observer invites you to
make environmental observations that complement NASA satellite observations to help scientists studying Earth and the global environment.
NASA pioneers new
global environmental observations and research, and works with other federal agencies to improve the operational services they provide to the Nation.
Cross Cutting Priority 1: (Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management System) focuses on developing a global - to -
local environmental observation and data management systems for the comprehensive, continuous monitoring of coupled ocean / atmospheric / land systems that enhance NOAA's ability to protect lives, property, expand economic opportunities, understand climate variability, and promote healthy ecosystems.
Additionally, SIPN Leadership Team members contributed several peer - reviewed papers for publication and made presentations to the
Marine Environmental Observations, Predictions and Response Workshop in Ottawa, Ontario and to the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) Sea Ice Collaboration Team Meeting (see SIPN Presentations and Publications).
In that effort, DoD must work with the Coast Guard and the department of Homeland Security to address gaps in Arctic communications, domain awareness, search and rescue, and
environmental observation and forecasting capabilities to support both current and future planning and operations.
Much of the research within
the Environmental Observations, Modeling and Forecasting Division focuses on monitoring and understanding the role and impact of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at present and in the future.
The mission of
the Environmental Observations, Modeling and Forecasting Division is to increase understanding of interactive processes in the Earth's environment and the development of a more coherent picture of its sensitivities to natural and anthropogenic change.
Then, we can count how often and where those necessary conditions occur using either
environmental observations or reanalysis data.
