Modeled change in the Seasonality between 2001-2010 and the 1971-2000 Normal period

Originators: US Environmental Protection Agency Publisher: US EPA Office of Research & Development (ORD) - National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) Publication place: Corvallis, OR Publication date: Time Period of Data: 1900-2010; Projected data for 2041-2070. Data location: GeoPlatform ("https://www.geoplatform.gov/") and EPA Environmental Dataset Gateway (https://edg.epa.gov/). Abstract: We apply the hydrologic landscapes (HL) concept to assess the hydrologic vulnerability of the western United States (U.S.) to projected climate conditions. Our goal is to understand the potential impacts for stakeholder-defined interests across large geographic areas. The basic assumption of the HL approach is that catchments that share similar physical and climatic characteristics are expected to have similar hydrologic characteristics. We map climate vulnerability by integrating the HL approach into a retrospective analysis of historical data to assess variability in future climate projections and hydrology, which includes temperature, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, snow accumulation, climatic moisture, surplus water, and seasonality of water surplus. Projections that are not within two-standard deviations of the historical decadal average contribute to the vulnerability index for each metric. The resulting vulnerability maps show that temperature and potential evapotranspiration are consistently projected to have high vulnerability indices for the western U.S. Precipitation vulnerability is not as spatially-uniform as temperature. The highest elevation areas with snow are projected to experience significant changes in snow accumulation. The seasonality vulnerability map shows that specific mountainous areas in the West are most prone to changes in seasonality, whereas many transitional terrains are moderately susceptible. This paper illustrates how the HL approach can help assess climatic and hydrologic vulnerability across large spatial scales. By combining the HL concept and climate vulnerability analyses, we provide a planning approach that could allow resource managers to consider how future climate conditions may impact important economic and conservation resources. Purpose: These data were created in support of the US EPA’s ACE CIVA 2.3, Task Project (QAPP: E-WED-0030854). However, these climate data and hydrologic landscape summaries should have broad applicability for hydrological, geomorphic, or ecological modeling, management, and restoration.  This raster contains the modeled change in the seasonality of the month of maximum surplus precipitation between the target time period (in title) and the 1971-2000 Normal period (1 = same season, 0 = earlier season, 2 = later season).

Change in Ragweed Pollen Season, 1995-2015

This figure shows how the length of ragweed pollen season changed at 11 locations in the central United States and Canada between 1995 and 2015. Data were provided by Dr. Lewis Ziska of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. Red circles represent a longer pollen season; the blue circle represents a shorter season. Larger circles indicate larger changes. For more information: www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/indicators

Expert Query

The Expert Query Tool is a web-based reporting tool using the EPA’s WATERS database.There are just three steps to using Expert Query:1. View Selection – Choose what type of information you want from the database.2. Data Element Selection – Choose specific data elements, which will appear as columns in the report, from the database.3. Entering Search Criteria – Refine the data to be displayed and arrange how it will appear in the report.Data can be output from Expert Query in two ways: as HTML (displayed in the user’s web browser) or as a file (comma– or tab-delimited). Files downloaded to the user’s PC can then be imported into a spreadsheet program such as Excel or a database such as Access and manipulated further.
