Climate, Weather, & Satellite

Extreme storms, rising temperatures, and more frequent droughts, fires, and floods challenge societies to use our collective intelligence and take actions needed to predict and adapt to climate changes, address economic and environmental security, and better understand and sustain our living biosphere.

IBSS engages with Federal and local government, academia, private industry, non-profits, and the global scientific community to build capacity, improve access to reliable real-time information, and respond effectively to weather events. We help save lives, protect property, and address short- and long-term challenges head on.

Climatology & Sustainable Communities

IBSS recognizes that weather and climate awareness is critical to the U.S. Federal planning agenda. Cities and communities are at the forefront of developing localized approaches to climate change vulnerabilities and uncertainties. We work with clients to prioritize risk based on impacts, evaluate tradeoffs, and develop adaptive strategies to mitigate the potentially destructive consequences of climate change to people, economies, and ecosystems.
