archived

A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD is issued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to Oregon State University - Oregon Climate Change Research Institute according to 505 DM 2.14(B)4 (see attached NOI). No competition is expected. The Service and its partners recognize that addressing climate change and other stressors within and across landscapes are contingent on partnerships that cut across jurisdictions. Benefits of collaborative partnerships, for landscape conservation issues, include providing spatially-explicit scientific analyses and tools that link biological planning, conservation design, conservation delivery, monitoring, and research to address climate change threats and other limiting factors on fish, wildlife and habitats at a landscape level. OCCRI personnel have the particular technical expertise and experience generating high resolution maps and modeling dominant vegetation type, biomass burned, and vegetation carbon spatial maps in the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative geographic area.
