Geological Survey

Description

USGS has initiated a large project to downscale the Atmospheric-Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCM) to identify how climate and land-use change will impact the vulnerability of fish habitat at national, regional, and local scales. Results from this project will be used to determine the biological responses of fishes to these changes. This project relies on the on-going work of the partnership-driven National Fish Habitat Action Plan’s (NFHAP) national assessment of fish habitat, to incorporate global climate change models and predicted land-use change to the Nation’s aquatic systems. Funding provided under this project will be used to develop the national scale integration of on-going fish habitat assessment and climate change and land-use predictions.
