Overview

Minnesota Climate Mapping and Analysis Tool (CliMAT) is an interactive online tool that provides highly localized climate projections for Minnesota. Users can view climate projections down to the 4km/2.5mile scale across the state, visualizing how even specific towns will likely be impacted in the coming decades.

There are two ways to use this tool: visualize maps of climate change projections, and calculate average values of projections within an Area of Interest (AOI):

• "Create Map" allows you to view what Minnesota's future climate might look like for a chosen emissions scenario, variable, and time period. This is best suited for statewide or regional visualizations.
• "Create Spreadsheet" allows you to download the average value for an AOI for up to 500 climate change projections simultaneously. Data will download as a .csv (spreadsheet). This option is best suited for analyzing many variables, time periods, or emissions scenarios for one location.
