 On November 3, 2010, the CA Department of Fish & Game, US Geological Survey, and US Fish & Wildlife Service presented a Sacramento workshop aimed at bringing together individuals doing cutting edge research on global climate model downscaling in California with key ecologists, land managers and partners. During three sessions, participants engaged in discussions following relevant presentations on the current status of climate models and downscaling data applicable to ecologically meaningful scales, and ecological applications of downscaled data, some located within the SF Bay area, to inform conservation priorities, connectivity planning and preserve management actions.

In a two-day October 2010 workshop supported by the Fish and Wildlife Service, California Landscape Conservation Cooperative and the U. S. Geological Survey, USGS scientists John Takekawa and Bruce Jaffe lead an inter-disciplinary group of 18 federal, regional & international scientists in discussing approaches for modeling the effects of climate change on SF Bay shoal geomorphology, ecosystem and community dynamics, and habitat suitability to generate spatially explicit predictions of avian response to sea level rise. Tools and information needed for this integration of physical and biological parameters include 1) downscaled climate change models, 2) three-dimensional geomorphic modeling, 3) benthic invertebrate response to geomorphic change, and 4) avian response to geomorphic and invertebrate change.
