Driving Research for Forecast Delivery and Decision-Making (Feb 18-21, 2025)
Social science is the study of people
—what they think, how they feel, and how they respond—in a particular context.
Recent societal impacts from hurricanes, floods, snow storms, and wildfires, shows a great need to understand the intersection of people and meteorology. The Social Science Program funds research that plays a critical role in connecting the improvements of NOAA’s weather forecast information to the public’s growing forecast needs.
