“We are well poised to advance the science and data available for planning, and have 20 years of experience working with practitioners to apply it. [The} CHRN is a great forum for learning about the needs of decision makers and working with them to identify a science agenda that addresses those needs.”

New projections of changing precipitation in King County
Conducting new regional climate model simulations to quantify changes in precipitation in King County. This project will deliver post-processed model projections that are tailored to the needs of stormwater modeling and CSO planning in the County. In addition, model results will cover the entire Pacific Northwest – future work could use this dataset to apply the same analyses elsewhere in the region.

Climate Resilient Floodplains
Partnering with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this project aims to begin the process of identifying how to incorporate climate change into planning efforts, risk assessments and project design. Two key aspects of the project include a synthesis of climate change impacts on Puget Sound, developed as a resource for stakeholders, and an evaluation of currently-funded projects to identify the specific climate data and research that is needed to inform project design or implementation. In partnership with these efforts, a series of in-person interviews are being conducted to explore concerns and vulnerabilities of stakeholders.

Puget Sound Synthesis
Leveraging the work of the Climate Resilient Floodplains project, we are producing a synthesis of climate change impacts on Puget Sound. The report, along with a library of maps and figures, will be made available online via the Encyclopedia of Puget Sound website (http://www.eopugetsound.org).
