The Nature Conservancy creates climate change knowledge base

For anyone looking for methods and best practices for climate change adaptation, The Nature Conservancy’s Knowledge Base for Climate Change Adaptation offers news and updates, reference materials, project information, and much more.

tnc_logo_2009According to the site, The Nature Conservancy is working to develop climate change adaptation strategies that work in real places, and to advocate for ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience strategies that can help sustain communities in this time of global change.   This site will be a place to gather input, share products and ideas, and communicate about organizational efforts to draw together scientific research and innovative conservation projects to iteratively test, refine and summarize promising methods and best practices.

Materials are divided into the following categories: Tools & Methods, Reference Materials, Habitats, Projects, and News Archive. The site is hosted at TNC’s vast collection of resources at www.ConserveOnline.org.

NASA icebreaker to probe climate change impact on Arctic WASHINGTON -- NASA's first dedicated oceanographic field campaign goes to sea June 15 to take an up-close look at how changing conditions in the Arctic are affecting the ocean's chemistry and ecosystems that play a critical role in global climate change. The "Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment" mission, or ICESCAPE, will investigate the impacts of climate change on the ecology and biogeochemistry of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. A key focus is how changes in the Arctic may be altering the ocean's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. The greenhouse gas carbon...
