Honoring Dr. Stephen Schneider
As Dr. Ben Santer said, "We honor the memory of Steve Schneider by continuing to fight for the things he fought for – by continuing to seek clear understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change. We honor Steve by recognizing that communication is a vital part of our job. We honor Steve by taking the time to explain our research findings in plain English. By telling others what we do, why we do it, and why they should care about it. We honor Steve by raising our voices, and by speaking out when powerful “forces of unreason” seek to misrepresent our science. We honor Steve Schneider by caring about the strange and beautiful planet on which we live, by protecting its climate, and by ensuring that our policymakers do not fall asleep at the wheel."

The Data Basin Climate Center centralizes critical climate change-related datasets and findings. Tools are provided to visualize, analyze, and communicate vulnerabilities, trends or predicted future scenarios at local and regional scales. The Climate Center is working to increase the resistance and resilience of biodiversity in a climate-altered future by building collective understanding of the potential biological, physical, and cultural impacts.

The Data Basin Climate Center was built in collaboration with the Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE). CAKE supports individuals interested in developing the discipline of adaptation to climate change. CAKE is an online destination built by EcoAdapt and Island Press that provides the best available climate adaptation information and tools to those working on the ground. CAKE provides detailed case studies, a directory of experts, exchange forums, and links to community building tools. Read more.
