Decision-Making Tools Projects

Through partnership with the Boreal Ecosystems Analysis for Conservation Networks, NWBLCC implemented a new approach to conservation planning.

An Integrated Ecosystem Model for Alaska and Northwest Canada

The Integrated Ecosystem Model is designed to help resource managers understand the nature and expected rate of landscape change.

Evaluating Climate Connectivity in Alaska and Northwest Canada

This research models patterns of climate connectivity to map linkages among protected areas that promote climate change resilience.

Improved Climate Projections for Northwest Territories

This project gathered detailed PRISM data across the Northwest Territories to help scientists improve climate projections.

Integrating Traditional Knowledge and Western Science

This process provides an important example for how other scientists and managers can work with native communities effectively synthesizing traditional knowledge and western science data.

Mapping the Human Footprint Across Alaska and Canada

This project built a seamless dataset that spanned state, provincial and territorial boundaries to represent an initial look at intactness in the boreal ecosystems of western Canada and Alaska.

Modeling Connections Between Alaska's National Parks and Refuges

This study identified potential landscape linkages to provide a proactive land use planning tool amid scenarios of change and development.
