He will lead a presentation on the development of a new Southeast Coastal Operational Forecast System (SECOFS)\, including progress updates and preliminary results. Please register here to secure your spot in the webinar. \nAbstract\nDr. Zhang and his team are working with NOAA (CO-OPS\, OCS\, IOOS) and regional organizations (SECOORA) to develop a new operational Southeast Coastal Operational Forecast System (SECOFS) based on the work they have done on the Surge and Tide Operational Forecast System (STOFS). SECOFS will include enhancement of the coupling infrastructure itself to be compliant with the Unified Forecast System (UFS). SECOFS will also comply with NOAA efforts to develop a generic coastal flood modeling skill assessment and evaluation infrastructure for operational models. Zhang’s team is also supporting the development of coupling capability for remapping 2D/3D fields for conversion of ocean model results to UFS downstream applications\, such as safe and efficient navigation\, risk reduction\, and total water level. \nAbout the Presenter\n \n\nDr. Joseph Zhang is a professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and leads the development of the cross-scale modeling system\, SCHISM. Trained in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics\, he has successfully built an open community for the past 20 years for the advancement of hydrodynamic and hydrologic processes using cross-scale simulation approaches. At the moment his team is working with NOAA/OCS on total water prediction using a novel cross-scale platform known as STOFS3D\, which has been successfully implemented for the Atlantic and Pacific. He’s also working with IOOS and CO-OPS to develop a regional application (SECOFS) focused on flood hazard and safe navigation in the southeastern US coast\, and with NWC on the development of the next-generation National Water Model.

The process is completely flexible to accommodate a wide variety of geographic locations\, ownership types\, ecosystems and land uses\, management goals\, and project sizes. Our webinar will detail the broader process of developing a menu of climate adaptation strategies and approaches for terrestrial wildlife management to help managers translate broad concepts into specific tactics that will respond to climate change risks and meet desired management goals. We will present a recent application of this process for managing wildlife populations and their habitat. We will further demonstrate an ecosystem-specific application for developing climate adaptation strategies for vulnerable grassland systems. Understanding how climate change might affect ecosystems and wildlife is of mounting concern\, and developing real-world climate adaptation plans is an essential tool for conservation practitioners and managers. \nAbout the speakers:  \nStephen Handler works for the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station and is the acting Deputy Director of the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science. He works across the upper Midwest\, building partnerships\, assessing climate change risk\, and working with forest managers and landowners to develop real-world adaptation projects. Stephen moved to Houghton\, MI\, in 2011 and loves being a Yooper. \nBenjamin Zuckerberg is a professor in the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Growing up in Brooklyn\, New York\, Ben was a latecomer to ecology\, but in his undergraduate years he quickly became fascinated by how birds respond to environmental change. Ben received his MS from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and doctorate from the State University of New York where he then went on to serve as a research associate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. His research focuses on how modern climate change and habitat loss influence wildlife behavior\, abundance\, and distribution. Members of his lab often work closely with natural resource managers to provide guidance on various aspects of climate change adaptation.  \nJacy Bernath-Plaisted is a PhD candidate in the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Jacy grew up on 12 acres in rural Michigan and has always had a strong connection to wildlife and the outdoors. In 2015\, he completed his master’s degree in natural resources management at the University of Manitoba. Following his master’s degree\, Jacy went on to hold a position as an avian ecologist with Bird Conservancy of the Rockies prior to beginning his dissertation in 2019. Throughout his career\, Jacy has had a strong focus on avian demography and life-history\, the ecology and conservation of grasslands and grassland birds\, and related topics in applied management. Most recently\, his dissertation work has focused on the importance of microclimate variation in temperate grasslands.  \nRegister here.

This webinar will feature highlights of the survey results\, next steps for AFWA’s Climate Adaptation Program based on these results\, and allow for questions and discussion from webinar attendees.  \nThe Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) conducted a survey of U.S. state and Canadian provincial and territorial fish and wildlife agencies to assess perspectives\, needs\, gaps\, challenges\, and opportunities for climate change adaptation in fish and wildlife management. This biennial survey has been conducted since 2012\, yet the 2022 survey was the first time Canadian members of AFWA were included. The survey was designed to gather information that was useful and useable in helping AFWA members advance climate change adaptation.  \nThe responses demonstrate that all responding agencies are taking action to address climate change. Some agencies are changing hunting\, fishing\, and other regulations governing outdoor recreation due to climate change\, most agencies are incorporating climate change considerations into management decisions\, and the large majority of agencies are incorporating climate change considerations into management plans. Sill\, climate adaptation planning outpaces efforts for on-the-ground implementation of climate-adaptive management. This discrepancy between planning and implementation is reflected in the top needs identified by respondents which focused on best management practices and training for implementing fish and wildlife management under future climate conditions\, as well as additional funding and capacity for climate adaptation.  \nAttendees are encouraged to read the report before joining the webinar. The report can be found on AFWA’s website. https://www.fishwildlife.org/application/files/6816/9340/7728/2022_AFWA_Climate_Adaptation_Survey_Report.pdf \nLearn more and register.

To protect and restore them\, we need a clear understanding of exactly where they are\, where they were\, and where they could be in the future. A team led by the National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) recently completed an ambitious effort to map estuarine habitat in and around the 30 NERRs.  They used a powerful combination of NOAA resources for elevation and tidal datums to map the reach of tides\, historical topographic sheets generated by NOAA’s predecessor agency to map past habitat distributions\, and compared this to mapping from USFWS’s National Wetland Inventory (NWI).  \nElevation-based mapping revealed that estuary extent is greater  than currently mapped in NWI. At more than two-thirds of the Reserves\, the team detected tidal forests missed by NWI.  Comparison of historical maps to NWI revealed dramatically greater loss of tidal wetland extent on the Pacific coast than in other regions. The results of this investigation suggest that multiple mapping methods complement each other and should be integrated to provide a more accurate understanding of estuaries—past\, present and future. \nBios: Please visit here for more information about the webinar. \nSubscribe to the One NOAA Science Seminar Series weekly email: \nSend an e-mail to OneNOAAscienceseminars-request@list.woc.noaa.gov with the word 'subscribe' in the subject or body.

Mette\, Research Geologist\, USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center \nSummary:  Along the U.S. eastern seaboard and coastlines across the North Atlantic Ocean\, quahog clams are a key cultural and economic resource. While clam population and habitat restoration are a focus of much research in USGS coastal ecosystem science\, clamshells provide a surprising opportunity for another important type of geologic research – the study of paleoclimate. Shells contain annual banding\, just like tree rings\, allowing us to look many centuries into the past to understand changing environmental conditions year-by-year. This type of information is valuable to climate scientists who seek to understand large-scale climate variability and predict future environmental change. This presentation will highlight how clamshell-based climate reconstructions are built and applied by USGS researchers and collaborators. Future strategies for producing multicentury records of marine climate from key locations\, including along the southeastern U.S. coastline\, will also be highlighted. \nJoin Webinar.
