Aquatic Climate Change Services Program Project Summaries

The Aquatic Climate Change Adaptation Services Program (ACCASP) research funds described here are divided between:

A) UNDERSTANDING IMPACTS of CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS: Research projects to expand our understanding of how climate change will impact the delivery of the Department's programs and policies and;

B) Adaptation Tools Projects: The development of applied-science adaptation tools and strategies to enable the integration of climate change considerations into the delivery of those programs and policies.

Projects may be searched by clicking on the project type above, or by title, category, (see list below), location, key words and by the name of the principal investigator(s).
