Assessment of terrestrial and aquatic monitoring programs in the Southeastern United States by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 04, 2015 03:46 PM
A significant challenge faced by climate scientists in the public and private sector is the need for information about the historical status of ecological systems expected to be influenced by climate change. The need is especially acute for reliable and complete information about monitoring networks maintained by government and non-governmental organizations and associated data. While many organizations monitor one or more aspects of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, these monitoring programs are seldom coordinated and information about both the networks and the associated data are not readily available. The DOI Southeast Climate Science Center is participating in an effort by multiple federal, state, and other organizations to develop a comprehensive and integrated assessment of monitoring networks associated with atmospheric, stream, and terrestrial ecosystems. The objective of this two-year project is to support the development of this assessment.
Assessing Forest Fragmentation from Marcellus Shale Gas Development by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 04, 2015 03:44 PM
Expansion of drilling sites and associated infrastructure to extract natural gas from the Marcellus shale deposits has the potential to significantly reduce existing forest cover across the Marcellus field and leave what remains in a fragmented state.
Assessing climate-sensitive ecosystems in the southeastern United States by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 04, 2015 03:43 PM
The southeastern U.S. contains a unique diversity of ecosystems that provide important benefits, including habitat for wildlife and plants, water quality, and recreation opportunities. As climate changes, a better understanding of how our ecosystems will be affected is vital for identifying strategies to protect these ecosystems. While information on climate change affects exists for some ecosystems and some places, a synthesis of this information for key ecosystems across the entire Southeast will enable regional decision-makers, including the LCCs, to prioritize current efforts and plan future research and monitoring.
Synthesis of climate model downscaling products for the southeastern United States by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 04, 2015 03:40 PM
Downscaling translates large-scale climate information to the local scale. There are several techniques for handling this process; recently, several downscaled climate products have been produced by government and academic researchers. Ecologists, conservation scientists, and practitioners require such local guidance to evaluate adaptation and conservation strategies. However, the large number of methods involved, different downscaling approaches, resolutions, time periods, and focal variables limits the ability of these users to form meaningful conclusions and evaluate the results of adaptation strategies. To address these issues, this project will summarize the methods used for downscaling, identify the metrics most appropriate for evaluation of climate model skill and usability for the ecological and conservation communities in the southeastern US, and begin a longer-term effort to evaluate the range of downscaled climate products over this geographic region.

Public Data Repositories by Paul Leonard, last updated: May 19, 2015 03:51 PM
Provides links to sites containing maps and geospatial data which can be viewed or downloaded for use within a desktop GIS environment. These sites are from a variety of resources throughout the nation.
USGS Global Change Monitoring Portal by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: May 19, 2015 02:48 PM
The Global Change Monitoring Portal (GCMP) is a project of the DOI Southeast Climate Science Center and aims to support the efforts of multiple federal, state, and other organizations by providing a centralized, comprehensive catalog of observational networks associated with aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the southeastern United States. The Southeast GCMP region of interest encompasses all or part of several Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) in the southeastern US and Caribbean. Information about existing and historical observational networks and monitoring sites was compiled into a relational database. Programs and sites are classified according to: type of media being monitored (air, land, water), the general type of measurements that are made (biological, chemical, physical), and the general type of parameters that are measured (e.g., fauna) within a particular measurement type (e.g., biological).
NOAA National Center for Environmental Information by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: May 19, 2015 02:21 PM
The National Center for Environmental Information is the world’s largest provider of weather and climate data. Land-based, marine, model, radar, weather balloon, satellite, and paleoclimatic are just a few of the types of datasets available. Detailed descriptions of the available products and platforms are available on the website.
The Nature Conservancy Conservation Gateway by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: May 19, 2015 01:54 PM
Spatial data and maps are a crucial element in conservation science, and support meaningful contributions to conservation. Analyses require consistent, regional-scale spatial data and associated products. On this page, you can download the data The Nature Conservancy has used in their large-scale analyses.
USFWS Geospatial Services by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: May 19, 2015 11:36 AM
Geospatial data and services are critical elements needed to meet the mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote sensing are the primary elements which fall under the geospatial data and services umbrella. This site was created to enable the USFWS to be effective in managing geospatial data resources and technology to successfully deliver geospatial services in support of the Service’s mission.
