The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative March 31, 2015 CA LCC News & Events The CA LCC's vision is to support diverse and thriving ecosystems through lasting cooperative partnerships. Visit the CA LCC website Visit the Climate Commons Visit the National LCC website CA LCC Climate Commons Training April 23, 2015 11:00 12:00 PDT Deanne DiPietro and Zhahai Stewart, California Landscape Conservation Cooperative Data Managers, will demonstrate how to use the Climate Commons. The Climate Commons is the goto online library of climate change data and related resources, information about the science that produced it, and guidance for applying climate change science to conservation in California. Even for those well versed in the field, navigating through and applying appropriate climate data and information can be a daunting effort. Using a case study climate adaptation project, we will step through how the Climate Commons can guide well informed decisions for climatesmart conservation. This presentation will provide you the knowledge to: Research climate change literature relevant to your location or subject of interest Find and obtain data applicable to your work Compare across the variety of decision support tools available for climate adaptation Upcoming Events: Sonoma County Adaptation Forum April 8, 2015 Sonoma, CA Click here for more information or to join the webinar.
