to respond to global-scale forcing, especially precipitation, storm frequency/intensity, sea level rise, ocean chemistry, and sea-surface temperature. “Effects of Geophysical Drivers on Biological and Cultural Resources” refers to projects that investigate how the geophysical variables that are expected to respond to global-scale forcing, especially precipitation, storm frequency/intensity, sea level rise, ocean chemistry, and sea-surface temperature, affect species, ecosystems, and cultural resources. “Models of Resource Response to Change” refers to projects that provide estimates of future states of target resources (with or without management interventions) under conditions of changing precipitation, storm frequency/intensity, sea level, ocean chemistry, sea-surface temperature, or other large-scale driver. “Tools for Visualization and Decision Support” refers to projects that provide the ability to visualize potential future states of resources, landscapes, or ecosystem processes, and to make informed, optimal conservation management decisions.
