The University of Arizona was awarded a $333,606 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project will develop high-resolution hydroclimatic maps and data for southern California to assess climate change impacts and support adaptation planning. Key deliverables include spatial data layers for historical and projected future climate and hydrological conditions, 30-year climate summaries, and...

This is a 2-year, $369,330 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project aims to develop a geospatial land change model that can accurately simulate future urbanization patterns in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, despite population decline driven by economic and climate stressors in these regions. The key activities and deliverables under this award include: (1)...

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program, will fund a $487,033 synthesis of climate adaptation science and practice in the Southeast U.S. and U.S. Caribbean region. The recipient, North Carolina State University, will use a co-production process to develop a comprehensive synthesis that identifies best practices, data resources, and knowledge gaps to support climate adaptation...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $400,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to develop the Climate Adaptive Drought Planning (CADP) platform. The CADP platform aims to deliver equitable data access and enable comprehensive drought risk management by amalgamating datasets on water infrastructure, supply, demand, and socioeconomic trends. The Lincoln Institute will...

This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $149,928 and funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431), aims to evaluate how existing Decision-Support Tools (DSTs) can be leveraged to increase climate adaptation action by small and mid-sized cities across the United States. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) develop a typology and assess the usability of DSTs on the Climate...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $399,846 Cooperative Agreement under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program to the University of Colorado to conduct a two-year project titled "Landscape-Scale Climate Change Adaptation Planning for National Wildlife Refuges in the Crown of the Continent". The project aims to help the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) develop new guidance for Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCPs) to ensure...

The University of Colorado received a $888,273 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project will develop and deliver detailed quantitative projections of 21st century water balance, water availability, and ecological drought metrics across the contiguous United States. This will be accomplished through ecosystem water balance modeling with a daily time step and multiple soil...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $299,848 Project Grant to Headwaters Economics Inc. under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The grant will fund the development of a validated Rural Climate-Adaptive-Capacity Index for the entire United States. Headwaters Economics will use mixed methods to calibrate and validate an index of climate adaptive capacity for rural communities. Notably, the research aims to distinguish social vulnerability from adaptive...

This $189,587 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program, will fund a project led by the University of Oklahoma, with subawards to Oklahoma State University and North Dakota State University. The project aims to: Expand a pilot stakeholder survey to understand climate adaptation measures used in wetlands by a broader range of stakeholders, including tribal nations, NGOs, and...
