Climate change is expected to alter stream temperature and flow regimes over the coming decades, which will in turn influence distributions of aquatic species in those freshwater ecosystems. The NorEast web portal serves as a coordinated, multi-agency regional framework to map and store stream temperature locations and data for states in New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Great Lakes regions.
Various areas in Indiana will be impacted by climate change in different ways. This website provides a statewide map that charts county-by-county extreme heat, extreme precipitation, and floodplain land use data. The map provides current trends and 2050 emission scenarios for extreme heat and preciptation events, based on the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment.
The U.S. Drought Monitor is a map released every Thursday showing parts of the U.S. and its territories that are in drought. The map uses five classifications: abnormally dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought ranging from moderate (D1), severe (D2), extreme (D3), to exceptional (D4).
Climate change is expected to alter species distributions, modify ecological processes, and exacerbate environmental degradation. To offset these effects, the need for strategic land conservation is greater than ever. The Nature Conservancy’s Resilient and Connected Landscapes project comprehensively maps resilient lands and significant climate corridors across Eastern North America. The study took eight years to complete, involved 60 scientists, and developed innovative new techniques for mapping climate-driven movements.
This mapping tool provides data for glacial lakes in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The data includes likely suitability for fishes, land cover along the shoreline and in the lake’s watershed, and conservation recommendations to supplement existing information for each lake. The planner can be used to inform single-lake management, establish a framework for conservation strategies in each lake, identify patterns in fish habitat due to climate and land use change, and help prioritize limited resources among lakes.
Ecosystems across the nation will be increasingly affected by a changing climate. Understanding and evaluating the climate change impacts that may impact a particular region or system is an important first step in adapting to climate change. This interactive map can help users explore how climate change may affect the region and ecosystems that they work within.
This web-based app from NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) gives users the power to interactively browse over 800 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and download the underlying data. Many of the available imagery layers are updated within three hours of observation, essentially showing the entire Earth as it looks "right now." Arctic and Antarctic views of many products are also available for a "full globe" perspective.
This website provides current groundwater percentage maps for the continguous United States on a weekly basis, with an archive spanning from 2003 to the present.
This web-based application provides a simple and intuitive way to visualize, analyze, and access vast amounts of earth science remote sensing data without having to download the data. Giovanni is an acronym for Geospatial Interactive Online Visualization ANd Analysis Infrastructure.
