Description
Summary:OUR APPROACH We use current research and lessons from the past to help people manage uncertainty and make decisions about the future. We strive to bridge physical, ecological, social, and economic research and local knowledge to understand complex systems. We evaluate needs, deliverables, and requests across all projects, instead of through a single project-specific lens. We share data, products, tools, and insights with a large community of climate researchers, planners, policymakers, biologists, fire managers, and others. OUR DATA We try to extend data analyses to the largest possible spatial and temporal extents to allow greatest applicability to other projects. Downscaled SNAP data cover Alaska, western Canada, polar, and Arctic regions, from the mid-1800s to 2100. Datasets include historical (observed and modeled) data as well as projected (modeled) data out to the year 2100 across several top ranked GCMs and scenarios (SRES or RCPs). Our GeoTIFF-formatted data can be read by ArcGIS, QGIS, R, GDAL, GRASS, and others.
