- Q&A: CSC Research Funding Opportunity Jan 14, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
- A question-and-answer session about the funding opportunities are now available from the eight U.S. Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs) for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014.
- 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).
- Effects of Sea-level Rise and Extreme Events on Coastal Habitats and Their Wildlife Jan 10, 2013 11:25 AM
- This project takes a detailed bottom-up approach to assess vulnerability of Pacific coast habitats and their dependent wildlife at selected sites along a latitudinal gradient.
- CSC Funding Opportunity
- The U.S. Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs) are seeking proposals for FY 2013 and/or FY 2014 (as appropriate).
- UMGL LCC Annual Report Now Available
- The LCC's first ever annual report outlines the partnership’s accomplishments over the past three years, including: a break down on spending, steering and technical committee membership, research progress, communications efforts and future direction.
- MODIS Phenology Data for ArcGIS via ArcMap Jan 09, 2013 12:15 PM
- As the volume and complexity of spatial data increase, the ability of managers and analysts to use these critical data is compromised. Web/service based data delivery mechanisms provide one method to address this problem, this demonstrates one model for overcoming these data consumption challenges.
- Ducks Unlimited
- Ducks Unlimited conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.

- This is the final presentation on the Information Needs Assessment document, covering the process, results, strengths & weaknesses, use cases for the assessment, vision for the future, goals, and implementation plans and cost. (17 slides)
- Update on Conservation Synthesis and SWAP Ppt
- This presentation provides an update on Northeast Landscape conservation design and synthesis for SWAP revisions from the Conservation Design Advisory Committee, with information on SWAP data flow and the process used by the committee. (11 slides)
- Science Translation, Conservation Adoption and Delivery Ppt
- This presentation covers the revised process for needs and projects related to science translation and adoption, as determined by the ad hoc committee of the NALCC. (10 slides)
- NALCC RFP Topic 1 Summary
- This is a one-page summary of the projects included in RFP Topic 1, "Quantify and Map Habitats, Threats, and Current Range Distribution for Aquatic (Including Coastal) Species to Assess Species-Habitat Relationships, and Identify Priority Areas and Corridors for Conservation", and a brief summary of some aspects of RFP Topic 2. (Handout 11c)
- Northest Climate Science Center Ppt
