This session-within-a-session comprises two parts. Attendees will first hear how CHRS (Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing) RainSphere staff and USDA SWCH (Southwest Climate Hub) staff help make climate data and climate projections more easily understood and accessible to their respective users. Then, session attendees will draw from each presentation to outline a case study for the Climate Resilience Toolkit (CRT). Attendees can use strategies from the session to highlight their own projects' accomplishments.
This is the 5th workshop sponsored by ESIP's Agriculture & Climate Cluster to develop CRT case studies.
