Data: Current and future CNRM CM3 climate data for NHD v2 catchments within the Mississippi River Basin

This dataset represents results from this study attributed to the NHDPlus V2 catchments. Changes in climate occurring throughout the Mississippi River Basin are expected to lead to additional impacts in stream habitats and fish assemblages in multiple ways, including changing changing thermal properties and flow regimes. To manage streams for current impacts and future changes, managers need region-wide information for decision-making and developing proactive management strategies. Our project provides a suite of climate metrics that have been found to be relevant to the distribution and population structure of aquatic organisms in freshwater stream networks. These results provide natural resource managers, decision-makers,...

An Enhanced Archive Facilitating Climate Impacts and Adaptation Analysis

Abstract (from http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-13-00126.1): We describe the expansion of a publicly available archive of downscaled climate and hydrology projections for the United States. Those studying or planning to adapt to future climate impacts demand downscaled climate model output for local or regional use. The archive we describe attempts to fulfill this need by providing data in several formats, selectable to meet user needs. Our archive has served as a resource for climate impacts modelers, water managers, educators, and others. Over 1,400 individuals have transferred more than 50 TB of data from the archive. In response to user demands, the archive has expanded from monthly downscaled...

Preliminary evaluation of vegetation change on a large prescribed burn in Alaska

Modern fire suppression has the potential to alter the natural distribution of forest cover types and age classes, which has consequences for resource management. A 21,000 ha prescribed burn to enhance wildlife habitat and secondarily reduce continuity of coniferous fuels was conducted in 1998 in the boreal forest of eastern interior Alaska. Our objectives within the burned area were >50% mortality of trees and spatially-varying burn severity to promote regeneration of deciduous trees and shrubs by root or crown sprouting and by seed germination on mineral soil. After no precipitation the previous 8 days, aerial firing with incendiary plastic spheres was accomplished within prescription parameters on 21 July (observations:...
