The California Energy Commission on Tuesday announced a new application, the Climate Console, that utilizes geospatial data to show how climate change could impact the state’s desert regions and wildlife. Developed by the Conservation Biology Institute, the new tool allows scientists and planners to develop climate change models to predict such things as temperature and precipitation.
“The Climate Console provides information that local, state, and federal agencies can customize and use to identify vulnerabilities, develop comprehensive and flexible plans and facilitate coordinated planning efforts,” said California Energy Commissioner Karen Douglas in a statement.
