Case Studies

• Garfin, G. M., Garfin, G. M., Haverland, A. C., & Haverland, A. C. (2019. Toward Effective Actionable Science: Stakeholder Needs Assessment Final Report(pp 47 (plus appendices)).

  In 2018, to help fulfill the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s (SW CASC) mission of developing useful science products for natural resource managers, researchers conducted a rapid assessment of science and information needs of Southwest natural resource managers in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. Researchers assessed (a) stakeholder research, data and information needs, (b) communication and engagement preferences, (c) training and extension needs, and (d) identified partnership and collaboration barriers and opportunities.The researchers gathered data through 6 structured listening sessions, 24 interviews, and 88 web-based survey responses. Project outputs include an updated resource manager contact database, catalog of state natural resource agency management plans, and a synthesis of management science needs and priorities. The researchers developed a repeatable, robust process for rapidly assessing stakeholder needs.Four overarching research themes emerged, pertaining to the influence of climate on: the combination of snow, water resources, drought and their effects on habitat; stand-replacing fires; rapid and overwhelming introductions of invasive species; wildlife diseases. Regional stakeholders seek relevant climate science synthesis and assessments, examples of successful adaptation strategies, synthesis of multiple data streams, and guidance on implementing climate-informed strategies. Barriers include lack of research fit with resource management temporal and spatial scales, and lack of stakeholder capacity to assimilate climate science into practice.The assessment recommends that the SW CASC focus on the emerging science themes, with attention to data, science communication, synthesis and assessment product needs, and the complex intersection of climate and non-climate factors and resource management. The SW CASC can play a significant role in convening practitioners and researchers to assess climate impacts on habitat, connectivity, and species. Outcomes from this assessment include improved communication with state natural resource agencies; increased understanding of the SW CASC stakeholder science needs; enhanced capacity for the SW CASC to conduct needs assessments, and relationships to seed a knowledge network.

  More info

  This user guide summarizes findings from SERDP project RC-2232: Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation on Southwestern DoD Facilities and is offered as a collection of resources that DoD managers can use to plan and implement ongoing adaptation activities. Our research focused on assessment of climate related risk and the need for iterative climate change adaptation strategies that are aligned with DoD facilities management. Our overall guidance for climate decision-making is consistent with our original hypothesis—that best practices require direct engagement of installation personnel with researchers to identify current climate-related issues of concern, and connect them through cause-and-effect impact chains to amplified or attenuated future climate-related risks. We have identified an array of promising approaches for incorporating climate time-scale thinking and climate change considerations into DoD operational practices and provide an overview of techniques used to assess risk, a series of best practices, and a compilation of resources to support DoD climate-sensitive decision-making in this guidance document.

  More info

  This paper, requested by Dr. John Hall, describes the choice of climate data, climate models, and vegetation, fire and hydrology process models used in SERDP Project RC-2232. The data and models were used (a) to inform the project team’s initial assessments of climate variability and change affecting the region, (b) to communicate historic and projected climate changes to personnel at installations in the southwestern United States, during climate adaptation planning workshops, and (c) as the basis for climate impact modeling studies focused on addressing specific concerns identified during the workshops. Data sources were selected, based on the following criteria: (a) authoritativeness, (b) ease of access, (c) fit with impact applications. Global climate models (GCMs) were selected on the basis of fidelity to the statistical characteristics of historical climatology, (b) availability and accessibility of climate projection data.

  This white paper addresses the aforementioned requests, by explaining the methodologies used by the RC-2232 team, and by giving examples from our interactions with Department of Defense installations in the southwestern United States. From the team’s perspective, the issues raised in points (a) and (b), above, are related. Consequently, there is some redundancy in our responses. Also, for further details about the science and interactions described in our case studies, we have attached three reports related to our work on connecting near-term and long-term management decisions, through research on climate-fire connections related to the installations (O’Connor et al. 2015; 2016a; 2016b).
