MCAP News

We're headed to Aspen Ideas: Climate!

March 4, 2024

MCAP is facilitating a cohort of exceptional climate leaders from across Minnesota to attend the Aspen Ideas: Climate conference this month. These conferences tend to lack representation of the many forms of climate leadership that take place at the community level. We believe that we can achieve more by bringing more voices, experiences and expertise to the table.

February 16, 2024

Forbes featured our study with the design firm HGA characterizing the climate projection data needs of Architecture and Engineering (A&E) professionals in the United States: "Many financially secure homeowners are willing to take on some risk for a great location, but subsequently need to plan for it by working with an architect or builder who uses design tactics to meet that risk tolerance."


COLDEX Featured on CBS News

January 5, 2024

CBS News aired the first in a series of reports on our COLDEX project at the end of December. The report features footage from Antarctica, where our team members and collaborators from other universities are searching for the oldest ice on the planet to understand the evolution and future of Earth’s climate system. We’ve been working with CBS News throughout 2023 on this project, and are so grateful to see the stories being released. Stay tuned for more in 2024.
