Introducing the
Climate Futures Toolbox
Wind Cave National Park's climate change scenario planning process was the pilot for development of the Climate Futures Toolbox
The Climate Change Response Program (CCRP) collaborated with the USGS North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center to design the Climate Futures Toolbox—a software package that simplifies extraction and management of climate projections. CCRP aims to provide the best climate science available to park managers, but this can often be computationally intensive. This package greatly increases the efficiency of climate future development, enabling CCRP to provide more information to parks and increasing the accessibility of climate data to a broader audience. Learn more in the USGS Project Spotlight article on this effort.

Upcoming webinar:

Navigating the
Climate Adaptation Science Centers:
A National Network of Climate Adaptation Support for
Native Nations
From the expansion of invasive species to wildfire, drought, and sea-level rise, climate change creates new and evolving challenges for ecosystems across the nation. The USGS Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) are a partnership-driven program that teams scientific researchers with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, waters, and lands adapt to changing conditions.
 
Tribal resilience liaisons from several Climate Adaptation Science Centers will lead an introduction to the CASCs and the tribal resilience liaison network. They will share some examples of cultural resource projects and efforts, and share insights on how to engage with CASCs for support.


This webinar is being hosted by the National Park Service
as part of a larger series that promotes dialogue on climate change issues
of importance to Tribal Citizens and Nations.
