'Climate Hubs' Will Provide Regional Networks on Climate Science, Forecasting Impacts as Part of President's Climate Action Plan
by U.S. Department of Agriculture — published Feb 12, 2014 — last modified Feb 12, 2014 04:10 PM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today the creation of the first ever Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate Change at seven locations around the country. "Climate Hubs" will address increasing risks such as fires, invasive pests, devastating floods, and crippling droughts on a regional basis, aiming to translate science and research into information to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners on ways to adapt and adjust their resource management.

File Climate Change: Future Federal Adaptation Efforts Could Better Support Local Infrastructure Decision Makers
by Government Accountability Office — published May 17, 2013 — filed under: , , , , ,
The federal government invests billions of dollars annually in infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, facing increasing risks from climate change. Adaptation—defined as adjustments to natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change— can help manage these risks by making infrastructure more resilient. GAO was asked to examine issues related to infrastructure decision making and climate change. This report examines (1) the impacts of climate change on roads and bridges, wastewater systems, and NASA centers; (2) the extent to which climate change is incorporated into infrastructure planning; (3) factors that enabled some decision makers to implement adaptive measures; and (4) federal efforts to address local adaptation needs, as well as potential opportunities for improvement. GAO reviewed climate change assessments; analyzed relevant reports; interviewed stakeholders from professional associations and federal agencies; and visited infrastructure projects and interviewed local decision makers at seven sites where adaptive measures have been implemented.

File Troff document Fact Sheet: Riparian Restoration Decision Support Tool
by Matthew Cimitile — published Mar 17, 2014 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
An innovative web-based tool - funded by the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and developed by researchers from the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Massachusetts - is allowing managers to rapidly identify high-priority riparian targets for restoration to make more resilient in preparation for changes in future climate. The Riparian Restoration Prioritization to Promote Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) tool identifies vulnerable stream and riverbanks that lack tree cover and shade in coldwater stream habitats. By locating the best spots to plant trees in riparian zones, resource managers can provide shade that limits the amount of solar radiation heating the water and reduces the impacts from climate change. This well-established management strategy will benefit high-elevation, cold-water aquatic communities.

File application/x-troff-ms Full Proposal - A Web-Based Tool for Riparian Restoration Prioritization to Promote Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) in Eastern U.S. Streams
by Keith H. Nislow, Mark Hudy, Bruce Wiggins — published Nov 13, 2012 — last modified Sep 30, 2013 11:40 AM — filed under: , , , ,
The RPCCR is a web-based tool currently under development which is designed to allow managers to rapidly identify high-priority riparian restoration targets. The objective of this project is to complete development of the RPCCR, link it with the Appalachian LCC website, and integrate it with ongoing stream temperature monitoring and modeling efforts within the Northeast Climate Science Center (NECSC) and participating Landscape Conservation Cooperatives.

Geodiversity Key to Conserving Biodiversity Under Climate Change
by The Nature Conservancy — published Jun 30, 2015 — filed under: , , ,
The physical factors that create diversity (landform, bedrock, soil and topography), collectively known as geodiversity, might be the key to conserving biodiversity under a changing climate.

Incorporating Ecosystem Services into Assessments of Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 19, 2012 — last modified Mar 04, 2022 09:07 PM — filed under: , , ,
Rising sea levels coupled with population growth along coasts make climate adaptation planning an imperative. The framework of ecosystem services can help managers understand how alternative management and climate scenarios are likely to affect a broad range of services delivered to people from coastal ecosystems.
