UCSD Decarbonization, Electrification, and Sustainability Planning Study
In 2023, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) conducted a vulnerability assessment, subcontracting Rincon Consultants and Eagle Rock Analytics to develop climate projections tailored to the campus’s specific needs. Eagle Rock Analytics translated UCSD’s primary climate risk concerns— ranging from temperature impacts on residence halls and increased flooding risk to stormwater systems, to landslide […]
Changing Estuaries
Eagle Rock Analytics analyzed 20 years of biochemical, atmospheric and physical data to assess the degree to which Delaware’s estuaries have been impacted by climate change. This work was supported by Delaware’s National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Wildfire and Climate
Eagle Rock Analytics is a member of Pyregence: California’s efforts to better understand the relationship between extreme weather and wildfire occurrence. Eagle Rock’s work includes generation of a siting algorithm to optimize the locations of weather stations, and support of efforts to characterize key regional weather patterns that contribute to fire events. This work is led […]
Weather Data for Energy
Eagle Rock Analytics was selected to produce a curated high-resolution record of temperature and other weather variables to support California’s Energy Sector. A trend analysis revealed asymmetric warming in California, with major implications for the cost of electricity to ratepayers. This work was supported by the California Energy Commission through the EPIC Research Program.
Harmful Algal Blooms
Harmful algal blooms critically impact coastal regions and freshwater across the United States. We have developed statistical models that explain how changes in water temperature are leading to conditions favorable for algal growth. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Chris Gobler of Stony Brook University. Code publicly available: https://github.com/Eagle-Rock-Analytics/erie-microcystis
