Practical Climate-Change
Analysis
for Science Management, and Policy
Scientists, managers, and policy makers need
the ability to assess the potential effects of climate change
on specific ecological systems within specific geographic
areas of interest at relevant spatial scales. Although large
amounts of data exist regarding how climate has and is
projected to change, these data have not been readily
available.
Climate Wizard is an easy-to-use
internet-based tool for analyzing and mapping climate change
at specific areas of interest globally, regionally and
locally. provides access to a wide range of climate data (both
past observed and future modeled) and runs powerful analyses
that address relevant ecological questions within specific
geographic areas. The analysis products produced by this
tool—maps, graphs, tables, and GIS layers—can be used to for
environmental and ecological research, management, planning,
and policy.
