OCE. Welcome to the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center. Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) USDA 'Climate Hubs' Announced Last week the USDA announced the launch of seven regional climate hubs, designed to deliver information to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to help them adapt to climate change and weather variability.
More information from the hubs will be coming soon! ~Posted February 2014 > Read More. USGS Climate and Land Use Change Research and Development Program. 02-24-2014: The web application has been updated to provide both English and metric units Worldwide climate modeling centers participating in the 5th Climate Model Intercomparison Program (CMIP5) are providing climate information for the ongoing Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The output from the global climate models is typically provided on grids on the order of ~1 to 3 degrees in latitude and longitude (roughly 80 to 230 km at 45°latitude).

USFWS Landscape Conservation Cooperatives. One of the strengths of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is our technical excellence in planning and delivering conservation. Whether on a National Wildlife Refuge, at a National Fish Hatchery, or on some other public or private land, the plans and projects we deliver are widely acclaimed for their quality and effectiveness in addressing conservation challenges. The conservation challenges of the 21st Century are more complex than ever before.
In addition to those we previously confronted at the local level, widespread threats such as drought, climate change and large-scale habitat fragmentation are complicating our efforts to plan and conduct conservation.
