Description: 
The results of the vulnerability assessment and stakeholder input will guide the creation of climate-­‐informed maps for each habitat. A key activity will be to utilize and leverage the spatial analysis and mapping (climate and non-­‐climate) that has already occurred in California and to integrate those results into this project where applicable. Spatial and temporal data features (historic, current, modeled) and information from local experts will be compiled and analyzed to generate new spatial data and maps of the current distribution of habitats and threats, both climate and non-­‐climate. For example, existing and emerging spatial climate data can be combined in novel ways to identify where, when, and how habitats may experience the highest magnitude of change. Similarly, spatial climate data can be overlaid with priority habitat data, and relevant non-­‐climatic stressors (e.g., predicted patterns of human population growth and development, land use) to identify areas of conservation priority. Several previous projects5,6,7,8,9 have shown that maps depicting comparative and magnitude of change are effective tools to help practitioners understand where and why a resource is vulnerable or at risk, and guide climate change adaptation action. This component will be completed in partnership with Conservation Biology Institute.
Processing & Workflow: 
Spatial analysis and mapping (Jan-­‐Aug 2015) • Compile spatial and temporal data features for each habitat • Create custom spatial datasets and climate-­‐informed maps for habitats • Convene stakeholder group to review draft maps, integrate comments and revisions, finalize, and post online (Data Basin)
