El Niño Webinar at NC CSC Monthly Check In

Tuesday, July 28, 2015 - 11:00am to 12:00pm
Climate Drivers

There is a greater than 90% chance that El Niño* will continue through Northern Hemisphere fall 2015, and around an 85% chance it will last through the 2015-16 winter. Imtiaz Rangwala presented a webinar on the emerging 2015-16 El Niño event and its potential impacts on the North Central region of the U.S. The climate FSA team Jeff Lukas (WWA), and Andrea Ray (NOAA ESRL) colloaborated on the presentation. A recording is available, and Wyoming's Livestock Round-up of August 2015 (V27, N13) covered the information. Slides are attached to the full event announcement. 

Climate Smart Conservation Training

Tuesday, July 28, 2015 (All day) to Thursday, July 30, 2015 (All day)

This course is designed to demystify climate adaptation for application to on-the-ground conservation, and will provide guidance in how to carry out adaptation with intentionality, how to manage for change and not just persistence, how to craft climate-informed conservation goals, and how to integrate adaptation into ongoing work. Conservation practitioners and natural resource managers will learn to become savvy consumers of climate information, tools, and models. This course is geared towards tribal environmental professionals and BIA managers.
