Presentation by Dr. Carlos Carroll (Klamath Center for Conservation Research)
Climate-driven shifts in species and ecosystems are complicating efforts to conserve biodiversity at the landscape scale. Recognizing this challenge, agencies and non-governmental organizations are increasingly searching for tools and information that allow identification of areas that are key to enhancing resilience and adaptation potential of natural systems under climate change. AdaptWest is a spatial database and synthesis of methods for conservation planning that helps fill that information need by providing seamless high-resolution data on a variety of climate-related metrics and detailed background context for evaluating the utility of different metrics in the context of your particular planning process. We will discuss the newly released dataset which portrays velocity of climate change for North America under alternative future scenarios at a 1km resolution. We will also review forthcoming datasets includes high-resolution land facets (physical habitat type) data. A 30 minute presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of informal questions and discussion.
