The National Climate Assessment summarizes the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future. A team of more than 300 experts guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee produced the report, which was extensively reviewed by the public and experts, including federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences. HabitatSeven provided the design and most of the frontend coding. The design featured a highly shareable architecture and mobile first design. I worked as lead Drupal developer to integrate their design and coding into a Drupal site with content types, taxonomy vocabularies, theming and custom modules. This site was launched by The White House.

Climate change is a significant threat to the health of the American people. The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) Climate and Health Assessment examines how climate change is already affecting human health and the changes that may occur in the future. The design combines elements of the USGCRP website with the design of the assessment PDF in a reusable template format for future reports. I was responsible for leading the web team and providing the back-end architecture.
