Global Change Explorer
EPA's GCX website includes data that can serve as a starting point when assessing the vulnerability of air, water, ecosystems, and human health to climate change, land use change, and other large-scale environmental stressors. The data and tools are relevant across multiple scientific disciplines and environmental media, providing a foundation for integrated assessments of global change.
-
Critical Loads
Tool that contains summaries of critical load effects mapped from the precipitation of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) as it moves from the atmosphere in rain, snow or fog to the earth's surface.
-
Ecosystem Management
Tools that support ecosystem management relevant to coral reef restoration and coastal salt marshes.
-
Integrated Land Use
The ICLUS project generates projections of population and land use change that are consistent with climate change scenarios.
-
Locating Scenarios
LASSO is a tool for quickly and systematically identifying and downloading a set of climate projections that are best suited for a given research question or objective.
-
Resilience
Tools that engage users in a guided process to assess local hazards, equity, and the strength of built, natural, and social environmental systems working together to plan and execute actions to build community perseverance in an unbiased way.
-
Watersheds
Tool that contains summaries of simulation results as a supplement to the 2013 EPA report on twenty U.S. watersheds.
