Develop an "Existing Vegetation" Map for the Western Alaska LCC Region This project produced an existing vegetation type map at 30m resolution for the northern half of the Western Alaska LCC region, and Kodiak Archipelago. The lack of a consistently mapped vegetation data layer for Alaska has been identified as a prima​​ry road block for many conservation and management entities across the state. This project addresses a number of the LCC conservation goals by addressing a baseline science and provides a foundation for current and future projects within the region.

The reduction in ice coverage due to climate change could potentially increase the frequency and degree of coastal flooding and erosion. Further, estuaries and delta systems act as conduits for storm surges, so when there is less nearshore ice coverage, these systems could introduce storm surge into terrestrial environments unaccustomed to saline intrusion, flooding, or other alien biogeochemical factors.​This project quantified the effect of reduced nearshore ice coverage on coastal flooding. The project developed a large...

AK 2015 Research on coastal change in Western Alaska has increased rapidly in recent years, making it challenging to track existing projects, understand their cumulative insights, gauge remaining research gaps, and prioritize future research. This project identified existing coastal change projects in Western Alaska that were happening in 2014, scheduled for 2015 or occured in 2012-2014. The report (below) provides a synthesis of information about each project category, and an associated online database (see ACCAP project page link below) describes individual projects and information on how to contact the project leader.

Climate projections for the archipelago indicate probable increases in annual and seasonal air temperature over the next 85 years. Corresponding increases in the temperature of freshwaters also are expected, which may adversely influence the biology of salmon, the quality of salmon habitat, and the availability of salmon to support the ecosystem and economy. It is essential that salmon managers be provided with relevant and reliable information on expected changes in thermal regimes and their influence...

Previous work has demonstrated that a variety of physical and biological processes are sensitive to changing climate regimes in this region, including those that support wildlife and fisheries that are of substantial importance for subsistence and commercial activities. This collaborative project will result in the compilation of a database of existing stream, river and lake temperatures that is unmatched anywhere else in Alaska in terms of its spatial and their temporal coverage. Analysis of these data will result in refinement of the monitoring plan developed to characterize thermal...

Commentary and indigenous and local observations were drawn from and analyzed through existing community observing programs (SIZONet and ANTHC-LEO) as well as from new interviews and meetings conducted for this project. Extensive work was performed to summarize, assess, and synthesize written and recorded observations and commentary.

One of those concerns is that the majority of caribou herds throughout the circumpolar north are declining, perhaps as a result of climate change. The principal objective of this research is to reveal the connections between soil nutrient cycling, forage quality and caribou habitat selection.

Storm surges are expected to be more frequent and more severe in the YK Delta area due to climate change and sea level rise. The biological impacts in the YK Delta due to the changed storm surges could be extreme.The model was assessed with respect to measured water level data at the coast and, where available, spatial extent of inundation, for 6 storms from the period 1992 to 2011. In total, inundation projections from 9 historical storms (5 from the assessment + 4 others) were developed. For each storm, an spatial inundation index (time-integral of water...

The main goal of the Framing Workshop described in this report was to clearly define a decision support context for the LCC that could be used to structure and guide discussions about data and information needs at the Science Workshop. Having this explicit decision context also provided a basis for logically evaluating and prioritizing the identified science needs.
