Climate Change Science, Policy and Engineering
~ ~ ~ Films, Records Evaluation, Policy ~ ~ ~

An engineer is an “applied scientist” who takes science and creates solutions to everyday problems.

We take climate science and apply it to problems to determine solutions. We have worked with local, state and national organizations to determine appropriate climate policy that is relevant to the most leading edge climate science.

Our primary research is on drought and why, when it is raining more, we are getting less water in our lakes in Central Texas. Our filmwork includes sea level rise, ice loss in Greenland, wildfires and forest issues.

Do you have a need to understand how climate change has already impacted your particular issue, or how to plan for further climate change in the future?

The Climate Change Now Initiative is a nonprofit science education organization (501c3) that is designed to enhance public knowledge of the latest climate science and impacts of climate change.

Founded in 2005, the Initiative was a part of Melton Engineering Services Austin until 2014 when our IRS nonprofit designation was approved. To better serve as a nonprofit services provider, the Climate Change Now Initiative has launched Climate Change Engineering. See the following link for a better description of the services that can be found at ClimateChangeEngineering.org.

About the image on this page: The photograph was taken at point 660, near Kangerlusuaq, on the west coast of Greenland about 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, in 2007. The big black thing is the Greenland ice sheet and a melt river can be seen flowing from beneath the ice sheet on the left. It is black because melt, 100 vertical feet alone between 2004 and 2007, has left dust blown onto the ice sheet stranded as the melt water slowly drained from the surface.
