Building A Regional Climate Database: Applications For Research, Collaboration, and Public Engagement - Integrating Climate Data into Ecological Analysis, Monitoring, and Restoration

Researchers are collaborating with regional ecological analysis, monitoring, and restoration groups to facilitate their use of climate data in their regular operations and in their long-term planning/analysis. The impact of climate variability and change, especially as temperature and precipitation regimes shift (resulting in differing time of onset for spring, reduced snowpack, etc.), necessitates a better understanding of these shifts and the implications these changes have for practices of ecological management and restoration.
