NCEI Pacific Region Climate Services
NOAA/NCEI's Pacific Region Climate Services deliver tools and information to communities and businesses to reduce climate risk and improve resiliency. Located across a vast expanse of ocean, the Pacific Islands are exposed to changes in climate and weather that affect every aspect of life. Ocean and island ecosystems are changing with warming air and ocean temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, changing frequencies and intensities of storms, decreasing base flow in streams, rising sea levels, and changing ocean chemistry. Together, these changes will make it increasingly difficult for many Pacific Islanders to sustain their unique communities and cultures.
Dr. John J. Marra is the Regional Climate Services Director for the Pacific Region, based in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is also the Chair of the Pacific Climate Information System and an Adjunct Fellow at the EastâWest Center.
