Answering Climate Change Questions through ESIP’s Indicators June 2014

What is the EcoSystem Indicator Partnership? Partnership of scientists, academics, individuals from nonprofits using indicators to look at change in the Gulf of Maine.

ESIP’s core goal of providing information on change in the Gulf of Maine keeps intersecting the needs of other initiatives in the region. ESIP ACCESS CN NEERS NERACOOS BoFEP ALSI

How does ESIP intersect with Climate Change? ESIP tackled priority indicators for Gulf of Maine by looking at seven theme areas – one of which was climate change. Three* priority indicators were selected for climate change. 22 ESIP indicators in TOTAL. Sea level Precipitation, particularly trends in extreme precipitation Air temperature, particularly trends in seasons

How are indicators selected?

Can we talk about climate change adaptations without a baseline? Hm….. Black Box

ESIP Indicator: Air Temperature

ESIP Indicator: Precipitation

Want more?

People want to know about what it is happening at their location

Indicator Reporting Tool Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (

Indicator Reporting Tool Precipitation Canadian: Adjusted Historical Canadian Climate Data Precipitation U.S.: Historical Climatology Network Data

Indicator Reporting Tool Air Temperature Canadian: Adjusted Historical Canadian Climate Data Air Temperature U.S.: Historical Climatology Network Data

Together, builds the network of monitoring that is currently available for ESIP indicators.

Do you follow me? Knowing baselines allows for appropriate adaptation discussions. Seeing changes at local sites also engages communities. Engaged communities can participate more in active adaptation.
