SEI Developes New Google-Earth based Tools to Visualize climate change impacts in California

12/2/2009
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled two new Google-Earth based applications that will allow Californians to see the risks of climate change impacts in their communities

Setting the standard for displaying and transferring climate change information, the Cal-Adapt prototype application will allow users to explore the risks of global warming in California and help make better-informed localized adaptation decisions.

Funded by the California Energy Commission and Google.org, the Stockholm Environment Institute has also developed a Web site using the Google-Earth platform to display an interactive tour on climate change.

Users can access these Google-Earth based applications here:
