Our paper (link below) illustrates the application of GAMs to analyze non-linear patterns of surface elevation change in coastal wetlands. This approach is yet another tool that can help us better understand the consequences of #sealevelrise. rdcu.be/dloit

Check out the exceptional work our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists are undertaking in the Southwest Region.

We honor the memory of our colleague, USFWS employee Richard Guadagno, who was on board Flight 93 when the hijacked plane crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001. We also remember the innocent lives lost in the terrorist attacks that day.

The optimal stocking strategy for Yaqui Catfish is now published! Pursuing and developing conservation strategies like those highlighted in our paper is vital to securing the species in both the US and Mexico. #YaquiCatfish afspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/na…

New Article: Climate change and ecosystem shifts in the southwestern United States U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service nature.com/articles/s4159…

This study reveals major climate-driven ecosystem shifts in the southwestern US. Using machine learning, we identified how 22 #Ecosystems compositions are altered due to climate change, indicating significant instability. #MachineLearning #environment

Projections show ecosystem suitability increasing in area, elevation, and northing by mid-century, with substantial changes by 2100. #ClimateCrisis #FuturePredictions

Most federal, state and tribal properties examined will experience over 50% change in at least one ecosystem's suitability.

The study underscores the need for collective action in managing these ecosystem shifts, transcending traditional jurisdictional boundaries.

Integrating 9 climate models, the research emphasizes the importance of understanding predictive uncertainty for effective mitigation strategies. #ClimateModels
