Sierra Nevada Climate Change Datasets

About

This gallery contains downscaled climate change datasets for the Sierra Nevada used to support the project "Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Strategies for Focal Resources of the Sierra Nevada", a collaborative effort between EcoAdapt, the Geos Institute, Conservation Biology Institute, and the U.S. Forest Service and funded by the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC). 

Datasets include temperature, precipitation, vegetation change, snowpack, runoff, recharge, climatic water deficit, and wildfire. Hydrology datasets were extracted from the 2011 California BCM dataset using GFDL and PCM climate models.

For additional maps and information about this project, please see this article about the project on the Climate Commons and on our group page on Data Basin: EcoAdapt-CALCC: Climate Adaptation Project for the Sierra Nevada.
