www.fort.usgs.gov — This report provides a preliminary review of adaptation options for climate-sensitive ecosystems and resources in the United States. The term "adaptation" in this document refers to adjustments in human social systems (e.g., management) in response to climate stimuli and their effects. Since management always occurs in the context of desired More...

www.climatescience.gov — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a report that can help reduce the potential impact of climate change on estuaries, forests, wetlands, coral reefs, and other sensitive ecosystems. The report identifies strategies to protect the environment as these changes occur. The report finds that climate change can increase the impact of More...

soundwaves.usgs.gov — U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)'s Western Region held an internal USGS workshop on Sea-Level-Rise Impacts on November 6-7, 2007, in Menlo Park, California. The meeting was attended by 30 scientists from four USGS disciplines (geology, geography, biology, and water) and 13 different science centers in the Western Region. In part a follow-up to the More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — Irreplaceable resources such as water, timber, biodiversity and recreational opportunities are all being affected by the earth's global changing climate. Ecological disturbances - wildfire, insect outbreaks, and the spread of invasive species - are also accelerating and changing the earth's ecosystems. US Geological Survey (USGS) and US Fish and More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NRMSC, Bozeman) | Format: .PDF
www.nrmsc.usgs.gov — The ecology of hoofed big-game species in the northern Rocky Mountains, known as ungulates, is strongly influenced by climate. Climate change impacts summer precipitation, winter snow pack, and the timing of spring green-up, all of which control animal physiology, demography, diet, habitat selection, and predator prey interactions. However, the More...

www.cfr.washington.edu — The Western Mountain Initiative is a team of USGS and USDA Forest Service scientists working together to better understand and predict the responses of Western mountain ecosystems to climatic variability and change, emphasizing sensitivities, thresholds, resistance, and resilience. The objective of the Western Mountain Initiative (WMI) is to More...

nrmsc.usgs.gov — This web resource documents glacial decline through photography, pairing historic images with contemporary photos, giving global warming a face and made climate change a relevant issue to viewers. The images are an effective visual means to help viewers understand that climate change contributes to the dynamic landscape changes so evident in More...

www.spea.indiana.edu — SLAMM-View is a web browser-based mapping application, designed to facilitate the comparison of the results from different dates and sea-level rise scenarios. The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) simulates the dominant processes involved in wetland conversions and shoreline modifications during long-term sea level rise. Map distributions More...

ak.water.usgs.gov — The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates a long-term program to monitor climate, glacier motion, glacier mass balance, and stream runoff. The data collected are used to understand glacier-related hydrologic processes and improve the quantitative prediction of water resources, glacier-related hazards, and the consequences of climate change.

www.fort.usgs.gov — This study investigates how these regional climate changes would influence the survival and reproduction of migratory birds. The research addresses specific questions that include (1) How will climate change alter the spacing and quality of critical wetland stopover habitats? (2) What are the long-term demographic consequences of climate change on More...
