This is a collaborative project between the University of Oregon and the National Park Service (NPS) to identify potential climate change impacts (i.e., exposure and sensitivity) for cultural landscapes in the NPS Pacific West Region. This project will be conducted in multiple phases. Phase 1 will involve: 1) gathering climate change projections data, 2) identifying anticipated climate change impacts, 3) identifying character-defining features projected to be impacted, and 4) identifying stabilization measures to improve the resilience of those character-defining features to climate change phenomena (or climate trends). This project is a starting point in identifying the most vulnerable cultural landscapes in the...

Wetland ecosystems are ecologically important components of park landscapes. Montane wetlands may be particularly vulnerable to changing climates. Responsible and effective park protection of these areas relies on accurate inventories of sites, a detailed understanding of ecosystem functions and hydrologic cycles, and projections of changes based on future climates. Currently, parks have incomplete baseline inventories of montane wetlands and only qualitative information on hydroperiods of wetlands. The goals of this collaborative project are to collect hydrologic data to support the development of models, to collect GPS data to improve delineations of wetland maps, and to use these data to improve model projecting...
