The SC State Climatology Office, in collaboration with the Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments (CISA), is conducting a series of one-day educational workshops about planning for future climate events and impacts in South Carolina. The workshops will provide information relevant to stakeholders in each of these regions about responses to recent extreme events.

Workshops will include information on climate trends for each region, tools and resources for accessing climate data and information, and examples of how climate has been integrated into different planning processes, such as comprehensive plans, hazard mitigation plans, and watershed basin plans.
We plan to offer professional development hours for floodplain managers, planners, and SC licensed engineers and land surveyors.

State Climatology Office
The State Climatology Office (SCO) has represented the State in all climatological and meteorological matters within and outside South Carolina since its creation in 1986. The Office provides a unique service to the State by archiving and distributing climatological data to State agencies, educational and research institutions, and private citizens. The State Climatology Office is a division within the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments
University of South Carolina
The CISA team works to integrate climate science into decision-making processes. CISA researchers, collaborating investigators, and graduate students conduct applied climate research in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders across the Carolinas.CISA's work includes several cross-cutting activities that seek to advance scientific understanding of climate and hydrological processes in the Carolinas, improve the assessment of climate-related vulnerabilities and impacts, and provide timely and relevant information and tools for decision makers.
