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
CISA is one of ten NOAA-funded Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) teams working 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.
South Carolina Water Resources Center
Clemson University
The SC Water Resources Center serves as a liaison between the U.S. Geological Survey, the university community and the water resources constituencies across South Carolina. It is one of 54 institutes working collectively through the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR). The Center serves as a research facilitator and acts as a conduit for information necessary in the resource management decision-making and policy arenas of the state.
