Northeast CSC Webinar: Developing forest adaptation strategies for northern forests in an uncertain future.

Climate Webinar: Exploring Snowfall in the United States: The number of snowfall events in a given area has a large impact on road maintenance and water resources management. Snowfall data collected in the United States between 1930 and 2007 at seven locations shows how snowfall frequency has changed over time, and relates the information to a changing global climate.

Landfire Webinar Series: Assessing Needs - Understanding the recent and potential future threats to ecosystems is vital for prioritizing management activities in the Southeast.

Climate Change in America's National Parks: Reaching Common Ground: Communicating with Disbelieving Managers about Climate Change Impacts and Options.

Climate Change in America's National Parks: Tracking forest and landscape change from space using the ForWarn system.

Climate Resilience: What to Expect, How to Prepare, and What You Can Learn from Others: Join us for a webcast on climate resilience – the capacity of an individual, community, or institution to dynamically and effectively respond to shifting climate impacts while continuing to function at an acceptable level.

GOT TREES? Building Climate-Ready Agriculture.: Agricultural lands are having to meet ever-increasing production and conservation targets. At the same time agriculture’s capacity to deliver these services is being challenged by shifting climate, changing markets, and evolving environmental conditions.

Assessing climate-sensitive ecosystems in the southeastern United States: 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.

Oak, Fire, and Global Change: What Might the Future Hold?: The pace of environmental and socioeconomic change over the past 100 years has been rapid.

Climate-informed management of oak ecosystems in the Central Hardwoods region: Global climate changes will lead to local impacts on oak ecosystems throughout the central hardwoods region, including shifts in habitat suitability for different species, changes in soil moisture regime, and effects on insect pests, diseases, and species invasion.

Climate-Smart Seedlot Selection Tool Webinar: Reforestation and Restoration for the 21st Century: This project’s main objective is to produce an interactive mapping application that will help forest managers match seedlots with planting sites.

Responding to Drought and Water Challenges: Coldwater Fisheries and Climate Adaptation Case Studies in the Western and Eastern United States.

What is Ecological Drought? Exploring its impacts on natural and cultural resources: In 2017 the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC), in partnership with the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC), will be dedicating their webinar series to ecological drought with presentations from NCCWSC and the DOI Climate Science Centers (CSCs).

The Adaptation Workbook - Building Your Climate Adaptation Plan: A collaboration between the Climate Learning Network and the Climate Science Initiative, this webinar provides an overview of the Adaptation Workbook, an online, interactive, and practical workbook that helps land managers develop their own custom built climate change adaptation plans (www.adaptationworkbook.org).

Webinar: Effects of Climate Change on Inland Fish and Fisheries: Global, North American, and Management Perspectives: Join AFWA's Effects of Climate Change webinar coming up next Wednesday.

Conservation Planning: Conservation planning identifies and prioritizes lands that encompass important natural or cultural resources across the landscape (e.g., critical watersheds, habitat for rare or threatened species) and develops protection and management strategies for these lands. It is a process where science is at the core of planning, but the science is informed by groups of stakeholders using their on-the-ground knowledge and expertise.

Appalachian LCC Integrating Cultural Resources Research Webinar: Presentation by Dr. Tim Murtha of Penn State University on a collaborative research project sponsored by the National Park Service and the Appalachian LCC, which seeks to integrate cultural resources, such as historic bridges and Civil War Battlefields, into landscape conservation planning and design to emphasize both natural and cultural resources in defining conservation priorities.
