Warming temperatures can exacerbate forest drought stress, reducing defenses to bark beetle outbreaks, wildfire, and tree diseases. Concern about losses within the forests of the Navajo Nation due to these stressors led to a partnership between the Navajo Forestry Department and a diverse group of scientists to assess the vulnerability of Navajo forests to climate change and develop strategies to promote forest resilience to drought and extreme fire behavior.

Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability of Navajo Nation Forests

Dr. Carolyn Enquist and Dr. Dave Gutzler discuss the making of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, particularly the Working Group II section that presents an assessment of the impacts of, and vulnerabilities and adaptations to, climate change, of which both were authors. They share with us the scope and purpose of the report, applicability for resource managers and other decision-makers, what some of the terminology means, and more. Please note - this podcast episode is NOT a summary of the sixth assessment report’s findings.

Behind the Scenes of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

Continuing our series on managing for ecosystem transformation, we sit down with Dr. Mark Schwartz, a plant ecologist at UC Davis, and Aviv Karasov-Olson, a PhD candidate at UC Davis, to discuss a new tool for assessing the biotic risks associated with a managed relocation project (also referred to as assisted migration). Managed relocation is the act of deliberately relocating, or translocating, a species outside of its historic range to meet conservation goals, especially in response to climate change.

Managing for Change: California’s Giant Sequoias

Impacts from rapid climate change are challenging traditional land &amp; wildlife management strategies that were based on a stable baseline condition. In some locations we are already observing early-stage ecosystem reorganization in response to historic land management practices combined with recent novel climate stresses. Dr. Craig Allen and Dr. Nate Stephenson discuss how the convergence of climate stress, human land use patterns and histories, and disturbance trends in the southwestern United States are leading to forest ecosystem changes and transformation.

The Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) project is a collaborative effort to establish experimental trials of climate change adaptation strategies across different forest ecosystems throughout the United States and Canada. According to the society of American Foresters, silviculture is “the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands to meet the diverse needs and values of landowners and society.” In this episode we visit with Dr. Linda Nagel, department head for forest and rangeland stewardship at CSU and ASCC network lead and principal investigator, and Courtney Peterson, research associate at CSU and ASCC network coordinator, about this exciting project.

Wire Up Those Cows! New Gadgets For An Old Profession

2020 and the first half of 2021 were brutal drought years for the Southwest U.S. continuing a much longer term regional drought.  But this monsoon season brought welcome rain to many places in the region, with flowing washes and bright green vegetation. Many are asking, is the drought over? Surely if there is water in our usually dry washes, we must be out of drought. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, and almost all of the region is still in at least moderate drought, according to the latest drought monitor. This month we chat with three state climatologists, Drs.  Dave DuBois, Erin Saffell, and Steph McAfee, to hear how the monsoon has affected drought conditions and how drought is impacting their states.

Extreme Heat & Urban Planning

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Extreme heat kills on average more than 600 people in the U.S. each year. Over the course of just a few weeks this summer (2021), three different heat waves baked the western U.S., breaking numerous heat records and killing hundreds. In this episode, as part of our educational outreach to local communities, we interview three experts, Drs. Jennifer Vanos and Rachel Braun, from Arizona State University, and Dr. Adelle Monteblanco from Middle Tennessee State University, about the impacts of extreme heat on public health, especially in vulnerable populations.

Extreme Heat & Public Health

Taking action to manage drought and adapt to changing conditions can sometimes have unintended impacts on the adaptive capacity of others in the same social and ecological system. Jen Henderson, an assistant professor of geography at Texas Tech University, shares about two instances where social learning took place after actors experienced unanticipated impacts from others’ decisions. Jen is a disaster scholar and interdisciplinary social scientist who studies risk and uncertainty amid decision-making processes in weather and climate extremes. Her recent work highlighted in this episode focuses on two cases of drought decisions made along the Arkansas River Basin in Colorado.

In this episode we are speaking with CoCoRaHs founder Nolan Doesken, National Coordinator Henry Reges, and Education Coordinator Noah Newman about the network’s origins, current operations, how to get involved, and who uses the data collected. <a href="https://www.cocorahs.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CoCoRaHs</a> Network: <a href="https://www.cocorahs.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.cocorahs.org/</a><a href="https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/us-climate-normals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Climate Normals</a> <a href="https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=wxtalk#:~:text=CoCoRaHS%20WxTalk%20consists%20of%20a,climatology%20and%20other%20pertinent%20disciplines.&amp;text=The%20audience%20is%20given%20the,answer%20live%20on%20the%20air." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WxTalk Webinars</a> (Weather Talk Webinars) If you’re enjoying this podcast, please consider rating us and/or leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts, <a href="https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/3040883" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Podcast Addict</a>, or <a href="https://www.podchaser.com/ComeRainOrShine" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Podchaser</a> Thanks!Follow us on Twitter @RainShinePod Never miss an episode! <a href="http://eepurl.com/hRuJ5H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up to get an email alert whenever a new episode publishes</a> (<a href="http://eepurl.com/hRuJ5H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://eepurl.com/hRuJ5H</a>) Have a suggestion for a future episode? <a href="https://forms.gle/3oVDfWbjNZs6CJVT7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Please tell us</a>!  Affiliate links:DOI Southwest CASC: <a href="https://www.swcasc.arizona.edu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.swcasc.arizona.edu/</a>USDA Southwest Climate Hub: <a href="https://www.climatehubs.usda.gov/hubs/southwest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.climatehubs.usda.gov/hubs/southwest</a>Sustainable Southwest Beef Project: <a href="https://southwestbeef.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://southwestbeef.org/</a>

CoCoRaHS: Citizen Science in Weather Reporting

In this continuation of our special series on drought, we interview two water and climate scientists to learn what streamflow forecasts are predicting for the upcoming summer, and to learn more about an emerging area of research, termed snow drought. Dr. Adrian Harpold is a hydrologist with the University of Nevada, Reno, and is also a SW CASC funded researcher. Dr. Brad Udall is a Senior Water and Climate Scientist with the Colorado Water Center at Colorado State University, and is a co-principal investigator with the SW CASC. Here they share with us insights such as why 100% of the historic snow-pack doesn’t always translate to 100% of the historic runoff, the challenges of “weather whiplash”, options for water management on the watershed scale, and what gives them hope for the future even in the face of some pretty grim predictions.Links to organizations and events mentioned during the interviewCenter for Weather and Water Extremes https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/Blue Forest Conservation Initiative https://www.blueforest.org/Information on the Oroville Dam incident https://damfailures.org/case-study/oroville-dam-california-2017/To learn more about atmospheric rivers, check out Season 1 Episode #1 Atmospheric Rivers If you’re enjoying this podcast, please consider rating us and/or leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts, Podcast Addict, or Podchaser.

Drought, Snowpack, and Streamflow

In this mid-month bonus episode we interview Dr. Dannele Peck, Director of the USDA Northern Plains Climate Hub, about a rangeland/grassland forage productivity forecasting tool called Grass-Cast. Grass-Cast uses well-known relationships between historical weather and grassland production to provide estimates of annual forage production, beginning in the spring of each year and updated on a two-week cycle throughout the growing season. With the new growing season now upon us, we decided to check in with Dannele for a behind the scenes look at Grass-Cast - how it’s made, why it’s important, and what changes we might expect to see in the future.Grass-Cast homepage https://grasscast.unl.edu/If you’re enjoying this podcast, please consider rating us and/or leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts, Podcast Addict, or Podchaser https://www.podchaser.com/ComeRainOrShine Thanks!Follow us on Twitter @RainShinePodNever miss an episode!

Grass-Cast: A Grassland Productivity Forecasting Tool

Drought impacts more than our physical world - the psychological impacts of drought are also very real. Crop damage or failure, running out of forage for livestock, the loss of culturally important natural resources, and many other drought-related effects can lead to stress, anxiety, and a deep sense of loss. Sometimes it’s hard to know who to talk to or what resources are available. In this episode, we talk to three experts on this topic and discuss some strategies for coping and what you can do to help support others in your community.Co-presented by the Southwest Drought Learning Network.

Drought Impacts on Mental Health

As of March 1st 2020, 85% of Arizona and 82% of New Mexico were in extreme to exceptional drought--the most severe drought categories used by the U.S. Drought Monitor--and other states in the Southwest were fairing similarly. Rangelands and other arid ecosystems that are able to withstand exceptionally high temperatures may not seem as vulnerable to drought as other types of ecosystems, but they may be even closer to thresholds and more vulnerable. In this episode, we spoke with two USGS scientists about their drought-related research in Southwest dryland ecosystems and how it informs natural resource management in the region. Listen in to hear some entertaining fieldwork stories, and learn about programs and projects, like the Restoration Assessment &amp; Monitoring Program for the Southwest (RAMPS), that are designed to help managers develop better strategies for recovering ecosystems, and to foster knowledge exchange between land managers and researchers.Co-presented by the Southwest Drought Learning Network.

Drought & Natural Resources Management

Is climate change already impacting viticulture (the cultivation of grapevines)? How might a changing climate affect wine production? Is today a better time to drink red wine in Germany? Does weather affect alcohol content? You might be surprised by the answers to some of these! In this second half of our two-episode feature on viticulture, we delve into the effects of climate, weather, and our changing future on viticulture. If you haven’t already, be sure to listen to Part 1 where our guests, Dr. Kerri Steenwerth with USDA-ARS in California,  Dr. Andy Walker, from UC Davis, California, and Dr. Jeremy Weiss, from University of Arizona, introduce themselves and their role in supporting the industry.
