This project involves a web-based application and information resource focused on ecosystems, energy, and water in northwestern Colorado. The project will be developed and implemented in partnership with land and resource managers and will compliment ongoing and proposed work to support data and information management needs in the region. Representative on-going efforts and entities involved include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative studies, Bureau of Land Management Rapid Ecoregional Assessments, Americas Great Outdoors Initiative, WaterSMART, Upper Colorado Endangered Fish Recovery Program, Yampa River Legacy Project, Soil Landscape Geochemistry Project, Sage...

The Mississippi River Basin / Gulf Hypoxia Initiative (MRB/GHI), spearheaded by seven LCCs, is undertaking a strategic and transparent process to create an integrated framework that supports planning, design, configuration, and delivery of wildlife conservation practices within the watershed. This framework consists of multiple quantitative objectives representing three interests (i.e., wildlife, water quality, agriculture), a tiered set of conservation strategies to achieve those objectives within five production agriculture systems (i.e., corn & soybean; grazing lands; floodplain forest; rice; cotton), and a modeling approach to determine where to best implement those actions within four key ecological systems...

The STEPPE (Science Team about Energy and Prairie Pothole Environments) project is a multidiciplined collaboration of USGS scientists who are examining the effects of energy development on natural resources within the geographic extent of the Willison Basin and the Bakken Formation. We have partnered with other Federal and State Agencies to better understand the complicated interactions between environmental systems and energy development. Our approach is to combine site specific field studies focused on ecological, hydrological and surficial geological components into landscape level assessments using state-of-the-art modelling and spatial analysis. LC MAP and Science Base provides a central location to catalog...

Global climate change is putting unprecedented pressure on global croplands and their water use, vital for ensuring future food security for the world's rapidly expanding human population. The end of the green green revolution (productivity per unit of land) era has meant declining global per capita agricultural production requiring immediate policy responses to safeguard food security amidst global climate change and economic turbulence. Above all, global croplands are water guzzlers, consuming between 60-90% of all human water use. With increasing urbanization, industrialization, and other demands (e.g., bio-fuels) on water there is increasing pressure to reduce agricultural water use by producing more food from...
