Unknown unknowns: the emergence of unexpected interactions between climate change and forest health
A story of drought in western North Carolina and its impact on red spruce trees. Explores interactions between climate change, elevated nitrogen deposition and insects.
Downscaled Models
Scientists forecast how ecosystems might respond to climate change on much smaller scales than the one that the climate models operate on. The models must be downscaled to look at ecosystems.
A Changing Climate in the West
In the Northwest, temperature increases, decreases in snowfall events and declining April snowpack are examples of recent trends. Philip Mote discusses the climate system and patterns of variability.
The Impacts of Climate Change on Water in the Northwest
Hydrologic changes are projected to be profound under climate change, and a warmer and wetter future for the Pacific Northwest is expected.
Evaluating the Impacts of Watershed Recovery Strategies on Salmon in the Face of Climate Change
Linking land-use scenarios to salmon viability measures with models and empirical data from Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula.
Olympic National Forest & Olympic National Park (Part 1)
Through building partnerships, scientists and managers of the beautiful Olympic National Forest and National Park explored adaptation options to climate change.
Managing Natural Resources in the Face of Uncertainty
What's a resource manager to do about climate change? One general approach is to address uncertainty with scenarios, vulnerability and risk assessment, robust decisions, and monitoring.
Adapting to Climate Change Through Regional Agency Partnerships
Adapting to climate change by promoting science-management collaboration among agencies - an example from northern Colorado.
Vulnerability of Tropical Forests of the Asian Pacific to international Climate Change
Tropical forests are critical ecosystems affecting the Earth's climate and hydrological cycles, and human cultures. Learn more about how they may be affected by climate change.
