Across the U.S., and globally, there is an ever-increasing availability of immense quantities of climate data. This data reveals how our climate has been shifting and also projects changes on the horizon. However, making climate data accessible to businesses, decision-makers, and the public remains a challenge. Visualizing climate data in easy-to-understand and compelling ways helps people understand the changes taking place around them, and can help them better plan for the future. This session will bring together specialists in climate data and visualization in service of many different audience. The discussion will focus on best practices and tools for data visualization, considering your audience when designing visualizations, reviewing remaining challenges and future opportunities with climate data.
