  1. DOI Climate Adaptation Science Update USGS Activities Atlantic Coast Joint Venture December 4, 2009 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

  2. USGS Regional Organization

  3. Secretarial Order 3289 Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change on America's Water, Land, and Other Natural and Cultural Resources (9/14/09) … the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has been developing regional science centers … currently known as "regional hubs“ of the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center… The Climate Change Response Council will work with USGS and other Department bureaus to rename these regional science centers as Regional Climate Change Response Centers and broaden their mandate …

  4. USGS Support to LCCs • 2010 Budget has $5 million to support LCCs • For the 8 LCCs to be put in place in 2010, USGS would provide 2 RGE level scientists to support each LCC • Remaining funds would be used to support LCC science (about $1.8 million) likely through an internal USGS competitive grant process

  5. Regional Climate Change Response Centers are…. Envisioned as multi-disciplinarily Centers to meet DOI Climate Needs What are RCCRCs?

  6. Regional Climate Change Response Centers Alaska Northcentral Northwest Northeast National Office (NCCWSC) Southwest Southeast Pacific Islands Southcentral “Fuzzy Boundaries”

  7. Cooperators: Science and Resource Management DOI Science Staff • University Based • Competitive Process • 3+ RCCRC Funded in FY 2010 • Program Announcement in Early 2010 • Staffing – Director/Coordinator, Ecologists, Modelers, Climate Scientists, Population Biologists (?), Hydrologists (?), Sociologists (?) Regional Climate Change Response Centers

  8.
