Weather Pattern Recognition for Santa Clara County Watersheds
As extreme precipitation events become more severe, it is becoming increasingly important to anticipate on-the-ground impacts with sufficient lead time for a meaningful response. We are working with the Santa Clara Valley Water District to provide the tools necessary to proactively respond to a storm’s forecast, rather than react to its impacts. By employing pattern […]
Sacramento Municipal Utility District Climate Vulnerability Assessment
Eagle Rock Analytics is partnering with AECOM to help Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) prepare for California’s changing climate. As one of the nation’s largest public utilities serving over 1.5 million residents, SMUD is working to ensure reliable power delivery across its diverse service and generation territory – from Sacramento’s urban core to the Sierra […]
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 […]
Climate Risk and Resilience Portal (ClimRR) Partnership
In partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, this project coordinates climate data guidance and standardization activities between Cal-Adapt and the Climate Risk and Resilience Portal (ClimRR). ClimRR was constructed and is maintained by Argonne through collaborative effort and funding on behalf of DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the U.S. […]
California Climate Risk and Adaptation Index
Eagle Rock Analytics is developing a novel index to quantify the benefits for the California Air Resources Board. This index will help to quantify the benefits and return on current and future investment of California Climate Investment (CCI) projects. By creating this index, the state may more accurately understand the value-add from various programs, while […]
Historical Observations Data Platform
A cloud-based, historical weather observations data platform focusing on near-real time to enable California’s energy sector access to high-quality, open climate and weather data. The historical observations data platform responds to stakeholder needs in understanding weather and climate information including the severity, duration, frequency, and rate of change over time of extreme weather events, as […]
Renewables
The adoption of renewable and zero-carbon energy resources is an essential tool in climate change adaptation efforts, but the generation of energy from sources like solar radiation and wind naturally exists at the whim of the weather. California’s ambitious Senate Bill 100 (SB100) aims for 100% of California’s retail energy to come from renewable and […]
Cal-Adapt
Eagle Rock Analytics leads the development and management of Cal-Adapt, California’s climate data portal, and the Cal-Adapt: Analytics Engine, a cloud-based analytical data platform designed for the state’s climate adaptation and assessment needs. Cal-Adapt connects California’s research community with stakeholders and the public, offering tools and visualizations to support the state’s climate resilience efforts, while […]
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 […]
