USGS researchers from the North Central CASC and the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center recently collaborated with the National Park Service Climate Change Response Program to develop a new product that communicates the results from a collaborative effort—involving resource managers, subject-matter experts, and a larger climate change adaptation team—to identify potential climate impacts and management responses in Badlands National Park. The researchers used scenario planning and ecological simulation modeling to anticipate management challenges and identify options for Badlands National Park and adjacent federal and tribal lands in the coming decades (through 2050). The ecological simulation models help track complexities of the real world and serve as virtual laboratories for asking “what if…?” questions about how systems might respond under different scenarios. Insights from this collaborative effort will help inform resource managers who are tasked with prioritizing investments that better position the park to meet the challenges posed by climate change.
