Climate Change Training Needs Assessment Report - Intermountain Region, National Park Service
Report Abstract:
Climate Change Training Needs Assessment - Intermountain Region, National Park Service
The National Park Service Intermountain Region (IMR) partnered with the University of Arizona, to assess climate change training needs for over 5,000 IMR employees. We evaluated baseline climate literacy and employee training preferences, and outlined plans for climate change training. We identified the following baseline climate knowledge characteristics: a lack of discernment between climate variability and trends, good understanding of key phenomena, such as El Niño, good identification of observed impacts, but little knowledge of climate projections for the IMR.

National Coordinating Office of the USA National Phenology Network
The USA National Phenology Network brings together citizen scientists, government agencies, non-profit groups, educators and students of all ages to monitor the impacts of climate change on plants and animals in the United States. The network harnesses the power of people and the Internet to collect and share information, providing researchers with far more data than they could collect alone.
