Climate Voyager

For nearly a decade, Climate Voyager provided future projections of climate-based risks and opportunities for agriculture, land management, and other planning purposes. After the server on which the tool’s data was stored was shutdown, this tool was officially shuttered in October 2024.

Several other tools, listed below, offer the same or similar data as was available in Climate Voyager.

  • CAnVAS was developed by the NC State Climate Office to inform species status assessments produced by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. It uses the same MACA dataset as Climate Voyager and covers the same variables, including projections of extreme minimum temperatures and seasonal average temperatures and precipitation.
  • The Climate Toolbox created by the University of California-Merced includes a suite of tools displaying future climate projections, with similar visualizations as Climate Voyager, including:
Climate Mapper

National and regional maps of historical conditions and future climate projections

Future Hardiness Zones

Maps of future projections of changes to the USDA’s Plant Hardiness Zone regions

Future Climate Analogs

Maps of areas with a expected similar historical and future climate conditions

Future Boxplots

Graphs of local projections for several future time slices, as in Climate Voyager

Future Time Series

Graphs of local seasonal projections using different future emissions scenarios
