Projected Changes of Extreme Weather Events in the Eastern United States
-
This study is the first evaluation of dynamical downscaling using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model on a 4 km 4 km high resolution scale in the eastern US driven by the new Community Earth System Model version 1.0 (CESM v1.0). First we examined the global and regional climate model results, and corrected an inconsistency in skin temperature during the downscaling process by modifying the land/sea mask. In comparison with observations, WRF shows statistically significant improvement over CESM in reproducing extreme weather events, with improvement for heat wave frequency estimation as high as 98%. The fossil fuel intensive scenario Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 was used to study a possible future mid-century climate extreme in 2057–9. Both the heat waves and the extreme precipitation in 2057–9 are more severe than the present climate in the Eastern US. The Northeastern US shows large increases in both heat wave intensity (3.05 C higher) and annual extreme precipitation (107.3 mm more per year).

Providing Science and Tools in Support of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative: Designing Sustainable Landscapes for Wildlife
-
There is an increasing need for conservation planning over broad spatial extents that accounts for uncertainty in the effects of future climate, urban growth and other land use changes on ecological integrity and wildlife habitat capability. To address this concern in the Northeast, the North Atlantic LCC has funded a project to develop a modeling framework to predict the current and future habitat capabilities for the Northeast landscape and the priority areas for land protection, land management and ecological restoration.

Quantifying the Likelihood of Regional Climate Change: A Hybridized Approach
-
This paper addresses the growing need for risk-based assessments of impacts and adaptation to climate change calls for increased capability in climate projections and presents a technique for the quantification of the likelihood of regional climate outcomes and the associated representation of uncertainty.
