Description: 
This is a Google maps-based web application that allows users to compare and contrast results at the watershed scale across three scenarios simultaneously for multiple time periods. The three scenarios are based on the IPCC-SRES emission scenarios A1B, A2, and B1. For hydrological results, users also can view two climate projections for each emission scenario - a warm, wet future and a hot, dry future. Users have the option to zoom and pan maps for the three scenarios simultaneously, and click on the watersheds to retrieve underlying map data. Six sets of maps are available for viewing and download. These include: Percent change in critical habitat, percent change in grassland soil carbon sequestration potential, percent change in climatic water deficit, ratio of recharge to runoff, water-wildlife hotspots, and average percent change in multiple ecosystem services.
