There is increasing and broad recognition of the importance of Indigenous and local knowledge in leading climate change adaptation. Indigenous peoples and nations are on the front lines of climate change impacts, yet they are also leading the way in many innovative adaptation actions, such as traditional or cultural burning practices - a form of low-intensity understory-burning that promotes ecosystem health and builds cultural resilience. The overarching goal of this project is to better understand and establish traditional burning as a robust adaptation strategy, based on the practice’s own merits and/or as a complementary approach to other conventional ecosystem restoration practices. Focusing on central California,...

The SW CASC is hosted by the University of Arizona. Other consortium members include: Colorado State University, Desert Research Institute, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, University of California-Davis, University of California-Los Angeles, and Utah State University. The consortium of fourteen co-investigators continue to address the science research themes of climate science and forecasting, hydroclimate and water availability, ecological responses and vulnerabilities in order to contribute to create better informational exchange practices. Each CASC is a formal collaboration between the USGS, a regional host university, and a multi-institution partner consortium....
Our ability to sustainably manage the Colorado River is clearly in doubt. The Bureau of Reclamation’s 2012 Water Supply and Demand Study demonstrated the precarious balance that currently exists between water supply and the amount consumptively used by society. A future with either declining water supplies or additional consumptive uses will undoubtedly upset this balance. This balance is threatened, because: • Climate change science predicts that watershed runoff will decline due to increased evapotranspiration from rising temperatures; and • Water users, especially in the Upper Basin, aspire to increase consumptive uses by developing new projects. This white paper describes how declining runoff and increased consumptive...
Colorado State University (CSU) is a land grant institution and leader in research, service, education, and extension. CSU SW CASC co-PIs have connections with the Warner College of Natural Resources (WCNR) and the Colorado Water Institute. They have strong relationships with Southwest federal, state, and municipal water managers, and a long history of collaboration with agencies such as the Bureau of Reclamation. CSU’s Colorado Climate Center is a strong center for citizen-science programs (e.g., CoCoRaHS monitoring network) and CSU houses the nationally top-ranked Department of Atmospheric Science and the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere. CSU co-PI Erica Fleishman is leading the Recent...
The Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center supports conservation and management of the Southwest’s natural resources and cultural heritage by building partnerships between scientists and decision-makers, fostering development of research products to inform decisions, and assisting American Indian communities in adapting to climate change in the southwestern United States. Our vision it to help to maintain and sustain the Southwest’s unique biodiversity, its ecosystems’ diverse contributions to human welfare, and its diverse cultures, [both indigenous and adventitious,] as the region’s climate undergoes change in the coming years and decades. The SW CASC is hosted by the University of Arizona, located...

Highlights Multiple fingerprints built using four-part conservativeness tests and random forest. Floodplain sediment on which extensive cottonwood groves established dates to 1912. The source for ∼85% of this sediment are tributaries that were eroding at that time. Random forest can improve tracer selection in fingerprinting approaches. Findings underscore the major role of tributaries in the dynamics of large rivers. Abstract Sediment deposition on floodplains is essential for the development and maintenance of riparian ecosystems. Upstream erosion is known to influence downstream floodplain construction, but linking these disparate processes is challenging, especially over large spatial and temporal scales....

The sandbar willow of the Klamath River is used within the Karuk Tribe’s ongoing cultural practices of basketweaving. The willow has been threatened by intensifying fire and dams, but restoration and the recent historical dam removals provide an opportunity to increase the quantity, quality, and access to this important resource. Researchers supported by this Southwest CASC project will study how these interacting factors affect the sandbar willow and how restoration can reverse trends in willow degradation. The project will support Karuk Tribe eco-cultural goals through willow monitoring, climate adaptation planning, and educational initiatives. Sandbars of the Klamath River, part of the Karuk and Yurok Tribes’...
