DOI Northeast Climate Science Center Stakeholder Advisory Committee + LCC Partners *Host + Consortium Notes: Established in 2012 at Host/Lead university of UMass Amherst A stakeholder driven federal-university research partnership Consortium includes the College of Menominee Nation, a Tribal college with a strong program in sustainable development LCCs, NIACS, CAKE, EPA, BIA, ITEP, NOAA,

NE CSC Strategic Science Plan Regional science needs NE CSC Annual Science Planning/Workplan LCCs + Resource Managers Funding & Priorities Data, tools, etc. RFP and Directed Projects Providing science and tools for natural and cultural resource managers to help fish, wildlife, ecosystems, & the communities they support adapt to climate change. Tools examples SWAPS Climate Change Visualization and Integration of Ecological and Watershed Resources (CCVIEWeR) Project: A Decision Support Mapper for Conserving Stream Fish Habitats of the Northeast Climate Science Center (NE CSC) Region NorEaST-Stream Temperature Web Portal Demonstration and Application Our projections of climate change impacts on the behavior and distribution of deer and ducks will guide conservation planning. Project: Development of Dynamically-Based 21st Century Projections of Snow, Lake Ice, and Winter Severity for the Great Lakes Basin to Guide Wildlife-Based Adaptation Planning, with Emphasis on Deer and Waterfowl NE CSC Newsletter http://necsc.umass.edu/

Portfolio of Research # of projects Jeanne $7.5 million dollars in USGS funding supporting consortium, RFP and Directed projects – plus staff contributions (post docs etc) NE CSC efforts spread across 7 stakeholder defined themes. FY15 projects focus on three of the NE CSC’s science priorities: 1) Effects of Climate Change on Hydrologic Regimes, Ecological Flows, and Aquatic Connectivity (NE CSC Science Theme 3). 2) Species Intrinsic Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change (NE CSC Science Theme 5). 3) Effects of climate change on the sustainability of cultural resources, including approaches that utilize Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), human dimensions, and adaptation strategies (NE CSC Science Theme 6)

LCC-CSC Collaborations: Projects and Progress Designing Sustainable Landscapes (DSL) Assessing the capability of landscapes in the Northeast to provide guidance for strategic habitat conservation. Critically Evaluating Existing Methods and Supporting a Standardization of Terrestrial and Wetland Habitat Classification and Mapping that Includes Characterization of Climate Sensitive Systems Review of existing habitat classification and mapping products in the Northeast region Stream Temperature Mapping in the Northeast NorEaST web portal - maps and stores continuous stream temperature locations and data for New England, Mid Atlantic, and Great Lakes States nat resource expertise and programs Notes Mention involvement of Early Career Scientists on these projects http://necsc.umass.edu/projects/designing-sustainable-landscapes http://necsc.umass.edu/projects/critically-evaluating-existing-methods-and-supporting-standardization-terrestrial-and-wetla http://necsc.umass.edu/projects/noreast-%E2%80%93-stream-temperature-web-portal-demonstration-and-application
