Climate Change

  • BLM Adaptations to Changes in Climate - Ron Huntsinger, BLM National Science Coordinator
    Secretary Salazar has issued a Secretarial Order on climate change and renewable energy.  Four work groups have been formed to develop a supplemental strategy for the BLM.  It is working on adaptive management guidance to complement the climate change strategy for both the DOI and BLM.   It is developing a rapid assessment process at the eco-regional scale to allow for identification of areas suitable for renewable resource development.  A national monitoring network and regionalized science support capability is being proposed in DOI, in which BLM will participate.   Under the new BLM science strategy, it is developing a technology transfer process  to assure that best management practices, adaptive management strategies, decision support tools, and research results are incorporated in BLM training and management programs, as well as being made available to other users.
