Module to help educators in the Southeast teach about climate change impacts on forest ecosystems, the role of forests in sequestering carbon, and strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to changing climatic conditions.

The CLEAN Collection is a high-quality and rigorously reviewed collection of climate and energy educational resources aligned with the Climate Literacy and the Energy Literacy frameworks, and the Next Generation Science Standards. Through the peer-review process scientists and educators ensure scientific accuracy, pedagogic effectiveness, and classroom readiness for each resource.

LandPKS is a free modular mobile phone app connected to cloud-based storage, global databases, and models. It is comprised of three different modules: LandInfo, LandCover and LandManagement, with more modules planned for the future (SoilHealth and Biomass/Utilization).

LandInfo is designed for rapid soil (texture and color) characterization, soil identification, and for accessing soil and ecological site information. This module will: identify a soil based on location and user inputs; predict soil infiltration and plant-available water-holding capacity (AWC) at variable soil organic matter (SOM); determine land capability class (LCC) for sustainable land use planning and management; and determine soil color using the phone's camera and a standardized reference card.

The LandCover module is for rapid vegetation monitoring (vegetation composition, plant height, canopy and basal gaps). It is compatible with methods used by the USDA NRCS and the Bureau of Land Management, and can be used for rangeland monitoring, natural resource conservation and crop residue monitoring.

The LandManagement Module is for on-farm record-keeping about inputs, management and yields (e.g., crops, fertilizer, lime, irrigation, rainfall, erosion control, tillage etc) and can be used for providing data summaries.

As tides rise and storms intensify, humans adapt to the changing environment. Understanding local impacts to the coast increases resiliency. The Coastal Observer App encourages citizens to monitor weather and water. The data will help researchers build a pathway for a sustainable future.

The tools and resources in the Climate-wise reforestation toolkit, 1. Reforestation Prioritization Tool, 2. Post-drought Stand Condition Tool, and 3. Best Management Practices (BMPs): can be used along with site visits, local knowledge, and individual management goals to aid project planning. Specifically, we hope this tool will help communicate manager’s reforestation ideas and also interactively game different scenarios with interested stakeholders, facilitating their input.

The ShoreZone map tool can assist coastal managers in locating high-resolution images and video of the entire Pacific coast, which can be used for adaptation planning, restoration, conservation, recreation, and more.

The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) is a map released every Thursday, showing parts of the U.S. 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: moderate (D1), severe (D2), extreme (D3) and exceptional (D4). It is produced jointly by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The Specialty Crop Suitability Tool provides mapped and graphical summaries of the climatic suitability for cultivating selected tree/shrub specialty crops across the west. The mapping and graphical interface, along with extensive documentation, allows users to explore the intersection of climate and perennial agriculture and may aid in agricultural management decisions such as site or cultivar selection.

The Menu is an extensive collection of climate change adaptation actions for natural resource management with tribal communities.
