OpportunityTitle: Climate Change Impacts for Culture Resources in the Intermountain Region, Phase II, Part 1:  Vulnerability Assessment
Description: The goal of this cooperative project is to implement an NPS framework to address climate change impacts on cultural resources in the Intermountain Region (IMR). Building on Phase I research (2014) that compiled existing climate change models and data for cultural resources in the IMR, the objectives of this Phase II DIP are to: 1). Update Phase I compilation of data to review and incorporate recent NPS work on climate change and cultural resources at the national and regional scales; and 2). Complete a climate change vulnerability assessment for cultural resources in national parks of the Intermountain Region based on current data and norms established by the NPS. This regionally scoped project, conducted by a team of natural and cultural resources experts, will produce and disseminate information that can be used by site managers to plan for protection of vulnerable cultural resources in conjunction with the NPS Climate Change Response Program.
