This webinar will focus on the Geos Institute project Managing Coast Redwoods for Resilience in a Changing Climate, which was jointly funded by the North Pacific and California LCCs. Speaker Marni Koopman, Climate Change Scientist from Geos Institute, will discuss collaboratively developed climate adaptation management actions for California Coast Redwoods. These actions were developed through a recent workshop that pulled together expertise on how the climate of the Coast Redwood region is changing, what key opportunities for managing Coast Redwoods in a changing climate are, and how to translate the science for on-the-ground implementation.
Phase 1 (2013): The Northern California Coastal Forest ecoregion is dominated by coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) covering 13,300 km2 from just north of the California-Oregon border to Santa Cruz County, California, extending ~60 km inland. This project will synthesize available science on redwood climate resilience strategies at a workshop and related field trip involving the National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, private landowners, scientists and non-governmental organizations. The resultant comprehensive strategies will help managers prepare coast redwoods for climate change and land-use stressors.
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.
