Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #SciArt #ClimateForUs One of the featured artworks is “Coral Conundrum: Dead or Alive” by Constance Collins. Year and Medium: 2023, handmade paper, upcycled warp yarn remnants

Coral reefs are being threatened globally from climate change, unsustainable fishing, and land-based pollution. This piece recalls coral reefs and their inhabitants. As reefs deteriorate, they lose their vibrant color and their ability to provide nutrients and shelter to thousands of marine species. Here, the gradation from color to monochrome represents the bleaching that occurs as coral dies. We need to protect these crucial ecosystems, or we lose them. I used upcycled remnant warp yarns for the coral clusters and created handmade paper.

Lake Powell was just 22% full on July 19 — the lowest it's been on this date in at least 30 years. The Colorado River system overall sat at 33% of capacity. [1/4] 🌎️ 🧪🧵

Weather and climate are connected, but they are not the same. Weather is what we experience day to day. Climate is the longer-term patterns that help explain what is changing, what is becoming more likely, and what communities may need to prepare for. Climate.us helps make those connections clearer.

In June, NOAA announced that ENSO—Earth’s most powerful natural climate pattern—had entered its warm phase. Our new animation shows a big reason models expected a strong El Niño from the start: a deep pool of warm water building beneath the tropical Pacific since late 2025. 🌍️🧪 (1/3)

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Underwater Watercolor” by Olivia D . Year and Medium: 2023, watercolor

Artist statement: The idea behind this specific painting is to show the beauty and vibrancy of our ever-deteriorating oceans. I was inspired by the beautiful colors and livelihood of our oceans. The fluidity of movement, saturated colors, and detailed patterns all draw inspiration from familiar underwater scenery. The purpose of this piece is truly to inspire people to protect what is beautiful. I myself learned how important the oceans are to me, and I hope that respect can be reflected to the rest of the public through my artwork.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Methane Blues” by Tami Phelps. Year and Medium: 2021, cold wax and oil painting

My cold wax painting focuses on catastrophic ecosystem change in my home state, Alaska. “Methane Blues” shows melting ice wedges in permafrost under the tundra, weakening land and flora above ground. Collapsing earth creates methane-releasing thermokarst lakes across Alaska. Methane gas occurs when microbes digest decayed plants and animal remains. Their waste product, methane, is a 25-80x more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Invasion” by Pia De Girolamo. Year and Medium: 2020, acrylic on canvas

My painting depicts a polar bear in the Arctic viewing a distant cruise ship. I was on such a ship, visiting the Arctic Circle in 2019. The polar bear's look is wondering and poignant; the cruise ship seems innocent, but it represents another human incursion into this place of beauty. Climate change has already affected the area; the ice that allows the polar bear to travel and find food is shrinking. Bear and boat are on opposite sides in this painting. We need to be on the same side as the bear.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “A Desperate Ocean” by Ananya A. Year and Medium: 2023, acrylic

The North Atlantic right whale is a critically endangered whale that inhabits the east coast waters of the United States. Human activities and climate change have driven down their numbers. I hope this piece will be a cry for help, something that will leave people with a sense of urgency. I also wanted to bring hope; the whale is escaping the entanglements. The sorrowful situation of the North Atlantic right whales can only be solved by us, humans, and if we all commit to it, I believe we can do it.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Deforestation” by Kelly Curl. Year and Medium: 2023, oil paint

Artist statement: I record the landscape through paintings, drawings, photography, and mixed media, highlighting landscape form, process, texture, and natural patterns at varying scales. This work illustrates an aerial version of deforestation. Forests are home to wildlife, significant carbon banks, controls for flooding and erosion, and a source of filtration and clean air. Land use is a difficult topic, as farming is critically important to feed our growing population.
