Abstract: The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) is an interdisciplinary research group studying the impacts of natural climate variability and global climate change ("global warming") on the U.S. Pacific Northwest.Through research and interaction with regional stakeholders, the CIG works to increase the resilience of the Pacific Northwest to fluctuations in climate.The CIG is unique in its focus on the intersection of climate science and public policy.The group performs fundamental research on climate impacts and works with Pacific Northwest planners and policy makers to apply this information to regional decision making processes.The CIG is part of the Center for Science in the Earth System at the University of Washington's Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, and is one of eight Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) teams studying regional impacts of climate variability and climate change in the United States.The RISA program is
