Hawaiian forest birds are imperiled, with fewer than half the original > 40 species remaining extant. Recent studies document ongoing rapid population decline and project complete climate-based range losses for the critically endangered Kaua’i endemics ‘akeke’e (Loxops caeruleirostris) and ‘akikiki (Oreomystis bairdi) by end-of-century due to projected warming. Climate change facilitates the upward expansion of avian malaria into native high elevation forests where disease was historically absent. While intensified conservation efforts attempt to safeguard these species and their habitats, the magnitude of potential loss and the urgency of this situation require all conservation options to be seriously considered....
Micronesia’s island shorelines are threatened by multiple stressors including climate change impacts such as rising seas and changing storm patterns; as well as local disturbances like dredging, construction and mangroves overharvesting. There is a pressing need to increase the long-term resilience and adaptive capacity of Micronesia’s mangrove resources. This project intends to create an island-wide mangrove adaptation and management plan based on the compilation and application of multiple ongoing efforts connected to mangrove conservation in Pohnpei. The two main objectives are to: (1) Develop a consensus-based island-wide mangrove adaptation and management plan. The outcome of this objective is the adoption...

Projected climate-based range change between 1990-2010 and 2080-2100 for Hawaiian forest birds. Values for the raster include: 1- current climate range projected to be loss by end-of-century; 2- persisting climate-based range for species between now and end-of-century; 3- areas gained in climate-based range for the species between now and end-of-century. Species projected ranges are clipped by currently available compatible vegetation habitat. Manuscript output: Figure 1
President Obama has recognized Hawai‘i as one of several locations from across the nation where successful partnerships are working to improve the climate resilience of landscapes and seascapes in the face of climate change. The Resilient Lands and Waters initiative is a key part of the Administration’s Climate and Natural Resources Priority Agenda, a comprehensive commitment across the Federal Government to support resilience of America’s vital natural resources. The Resilient Lands and Waters Initiative aims to demonstrate the benefits of landscape-scale approaches to conservation and management that contribute to climate resilience by building upon the existing collaborative inter-agency partnerships. With this...

Hawaiian forest birds are imperiled, with fewer than half the original >40 species remaining extant. Recent studies document ongoing rapid population decline and project complete climate‐based range losses for the critically endangered Kaua’i endemics ‘akeke’e (Loxops caeruleirostris) and ‘akikiki (Oreomystis bairdi) by end‐of‐century due to projected warming. Climate change facilitates the upward expansion of avian malaria into native high elevation forests where disease was historically absent.

In the tropics, ample freshwater is the primary resource supporting thriving human and ecological communities. In the Pacific Islands, many watersheds are threatened by climate change, urban encroachment, and invasion by water-demanding exotic plant species like strawberry guava (SG). To maintain an adequate freshwater supply, adaptive management strategies are needed to address these concerns while confronting operational barriers to implementation. We developed a prototype watershed decision support tool (WDST) that incorporated: (i) distributed hydrology modeling to quantify effects of climate change and SG invasion on freshwater yield; (ii) a decision support tool that linked potential changes in yield with...

To anticipate how weather is likely to change as a result of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, geophysical and meteorological scientists examined the results of climate models on the fine scale climate patterns of Hawai’i to understand what future climate will look like. Researchers analyzed the relationship of past rainfall with global processes in order to predict future rainfall patterns. They found that the decades-long decrease in rainfall seen in arid and semiarid regions of Hawai‘i during the rainy season (November-April) is likely to continue. The model results show that all of the Hawaiian Islands get drier overall in the 21st century. Of all the islands,...
