The Climate Commons is the California LCC’s starting point for discovery of climate change data and related resources, information about the science that produced it, and guidance for applying climate change science to conservation in California. One of the services the Commons offers is a collection of articles introducing and explaining key concepts relating to climate change and conservation in California, helping resource managers get up to speed with this science and find important resources that they need to incorporate climate science into their conservation planning. Topics included: Scenario planning, climate-smart conservation, vulnerability assessment, sea-level rise, a summary of the most current climate...
Successful project tracking requires agreements on data standards and integration points. This allows LCCs to identify and assess funded research projects at regional and national scales.
The Climate Commons is the California LCC’s starting point for discovery of climate change data and related resources, information about the science that produced it, and guidance for applying climate change science to conservation in California. The Climate Commons is a website with searchable catalogs for documents, datasets, and web resources relevant to applying climate change science to conservation management. Also available are articles about a wide range of topics intended to help natural resource managers learn about climate science and how to apply it in their work. All CA LCC’s funded research projects are presented with a web page describing the project and linking to data management plans and completed...
The Basin Characterization Model (BCM) dataset provides historical and projected climate and hydrology data at a 270 meter resolution, which is relevant for watershed-scale evaluation and planning. These data have formed the basis for multiple research projects and vulnerability assessments applying climate change projections to conservation decision-making, providing a common base-layer and set of assumptions across these projects.This article on the Climate Commons provides documentation, examples, and links intended to assist resource managers and researchers in accessing and using this data. Please see also the Webinar hosted by the CA LCC on September 17, 2014, “Webinar: The 2014 Basin Characterization Model...
This section of the Climate Commons is dedicated to web pages and data management plans for the CA LCC-funded projects. The purpose is to deliver the scientific products resulting from the CA LCC-funded applied research projects for use by the intended audience, California’s natural resource managers. The project pages provide access to the many types of products, including online tools, publications, and datasetsData management plans are required of every project at the begininng of the project, and CA LCC’s Data Managers work with the Principle Investigators to fill out the data management plans and eventually catalog and present their results in the Climate Commons through these web pages. Often the PI works...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
