This survey was used in a study on the use of scientific information in public natural resource management planning and decision-making. This survey was intended to help staff at the Southwest Climate Science Center (SWCSC), and others in the research community, gain a more specific understanding of the kinds of decisions made by public natural resource officials and to identify how scientific information, and in particular climate information, is obtained and applied in National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) natural resource decision-making processes. Aside from questions and associated information, the survey document contains page logic describing actions taken in a web-based environment.
This document details our analysis of contemporary usage of available climate information for federal land management decisions. For this analysis, we focus on those decisions where respondents indicated that climate information was relevant to the decision being considered. We then evaluate which of the existing products are used most frequently (and the attributes of the decisions in which they were used). In addition, we consider the motivations for not using climate information despite its suggested relevance.
