Future climate change will affect the Earth's physical and biological systems. A better understanding of the potential magnitude, rate, and spatial expression of both future climate changes and their effects is needed to inform policy and management responses to climate change. This research uses a variety of numerical modeling approaches to explore the potential impacts of climate changes on species and ecosystems and the implications of these impacts for conservation and natural resource management efforts.
The EFFECTS Project is a research activity of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Surface Processes Team - Central Region and is funded by the USGS Earth Surface Dynamics Program.
