Climate change is altering the patterns and characteristics of fire across natural systems in the United States. Resource managers in the Northwest are faced with making natural resource and fire management decisions now, despite a lack of accessible information about how those decisions will play out as fire regimes, and ecosystem responses, will change across the landscape. Decision makers in natural-resource management increasingly require information about projected future changes in fire regimes to effectively prepare for and adapt to climate change impacts. An accessible and forward-looking summary of what we know about the “future of fire” is urgently required in the Northwest and across the country to support...

Many tribes are leaders in climate adaptation efforts, using intricate knowledge of their lands to develop and implement sophisticated adaptation strategies combatting a wide variety of climate impacts. In this tradition, Columbia Basin tribes, in partnership with three intertribal consortia, have created an internal database listing tribal resources and strategies to address different climate risks, from wildfire risk to decreasing snowpack. Yet there is currently no easy way for these tribes to share this continuously expanding body of knowledge with other groups. In this project, researchers will expand this existing resource to create the Tribal Resilience Action Database, an easily accessible web portal that...

The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) delivers science to help fish, wildlife, water, land and people adapt to a changing climate. The NW CASC is hosted by the University of Washington in partnership with Boise State University, Oregon State University, the University of Montana, Washington State University, and Western Washington University. The NW CASC university consortium is designed to support coproduction of actionable science through all stages of the climate adaptation cycle, including awareness raising, risk assessment, and selection, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of response options. Research efforts focus on the science research themes outlined in the NW CASC’s 2018-2023...

In ecosystems characterized by flowing water, such as rivers and streams, the dynamics of how the water moves - how deep it is, how fast it flows, how often it floods - have direct effects on the health, diversity, and sustainability of underlying communities. Yet increasingly, climate extremes like droughts and floods are disrupting fragile stream ecosystems by specifically changing their internal aquatic flows. Human infrastructure, such as irrigation and dams, further disrupt these dynamics. These changes in climate and land use are leading to teh fragmentation of aquatic habtiat, degraded water quality, altered sediment transport processes, variation in the timing and duration of floodplain inundation, shifts...
