USFWS Landscape Conservation Cooperatives One of the strengths of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is our technical excellence in planning and delivering conservation. Whether on a National Wildlife Refuge, at a National Fish Hatchery, or on some other public or private land, the plans and projects we deliver are widely acclaimed for their quality and effectiveness in addressing conservation challenges. The conservation challenges of the 21st Century are more complex than ever before. These challenges are too large for the Service or any single organization to meet alone. LCCs are applied conservation science partnerships with two main functions. The benefits of LCC partnerships don’t stop there. Though relatively new, LCCs already are providing invaluable support to the Service in meeting some of our most intractable conservation challenges.

USGCRP Scenarios for Climate Assessment and Adaptation USGS Climate and Land Use Change Research and Development Program 02-24-2014: The web application has been updated to provide both English and metric units Worldwide climate modeling centers participating in the 5th Climate Model Intercomparison Program (CMIP5) are providing climate information for the ongoing Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The output from the global climate models is typically provided on grids on the order of ~1 to 3 degrees in latitude and longitude (roughly 80 to 230 km at 45°latitude). To derive higher resolution data sets from the global models, NASA has downscaled the CMIP5 model temperature and precipitation data using statistical methods to produce the NEX-DCP30 data on a very fine 800-m grid that covers the continental United States (CONUS) for a variety of climate change assessments that require higher resolution data. The NEX-DCP30 Viewer allows the user to visualize projected climate change for any county in the continental United States.
Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) USDA 'Climate Hubs' Announced Last week the USDA announced the launch of seven regional climate hubs, designed to deliver information to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to help them adapt to climate change and weather variability. More information from the hubs will be coming soon!~Posted February 2014 > Read More Climate change and North American rangelands This recent publication evaluates strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions on rangelands, and discusses actions that individuals, enterprises, and social organizations can use to adapt to climate change. > Read More Carbon Budget 2013 The Global Carbon Project aims to develop a complete picture of the global carbon cycle, including its biophysical and human dimensions together with the interactions and feedbacks between them. > Read More Carbon Management Issue - Sustainable Landscapes in a World of Change The papers in this Mini Focus issue of Carbon Management address many of the key issues for implementing REDD+.
