Past Research and Monitoring
Climate change, land management, and potential northern spotted owl habitat in coastal Washington
- Project Goal: With stakeholder input this project examines trends in socio-ecological values under different climate and management assumptions across all lands in coastal Washington
-
Principal investigator: Jessica Halofsky (University of Washington); Co-principal investigators: Dominique Bachelet (Conservation Biology Institute), David Conklin (Common Futures), Joshua Halofsky (DNR), Miles Hemstrom (Institute for Natural Resources)
- Resources provided by: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Northwest Climate Science Center, DNR
- Start date: 1/15/2013
- Project status: Complete
- Final report
Literature database on natural disturbance regimes on the western Olympic Peninsula
- Through this project, DNR’s partner identifies and evaluates existing sources of information on natural disturbance regimes on the western Olympic Peninsula and develops an electronic literature database.
- Principal investigators: Steven Wondzell and Peter Bisson (Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station)
- Duration: April 2010 to May 2011
- Funding was provided by Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station
- The database is available upon request. See database description.
Providing long-term hydrological and meteorological data for the Olympic Experimental State Forest
- Long-term data on temperature and stream flow from local monitoring stations are made available through a central portal at http://www.fsl.orst.edu/climhy/
-
Project Coordinator: Teodora Minkova (DNR)
-
Duration: Continuous transfer of data; the data transfer process was developed in 2010 and revised in 2012
- Funding was provided by Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station and DNR
- Data are updated monthly through an automated process managed by DNR
- Data from this process have been used in a recently published nationwide study on stream flow responses to climate change and in a synthesis on long-term air temperature trends
