This report summarizes the results of a rapid landscape-scale climate vulnerability assessment for the Gunnison Basin. The primary objective of this assessment was to determine what ecosystems/habitats and species are most at risk to climate change (and why) under climate change scenarios predicted for 2050. This report summarizes the results of a landscape-scale climate change vulnerability assessment of 24 ecosystems (17 terrestrial and seven freshwater ecosystems) and 73 species of concern (50 plants and 23 animals) in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado.
The Department of State recently compared Colorado's voter registration database with driver's license records to determine whether non-citizens are registered to vote in Colorado.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of expanding CDSS to include the Arkansas River Basin in Colorado. This Arkansas River Decision Support System (ArkDSS) will build upon the structure, organization, and software developed previously for other basin subsystems; and address conditions and needs unique to this basin. Consequently, the ArkDSS Feasibility Study objectives include: Identify the scope, functions, elements, data needs, costs and schedule to develop a DSS for the Arkansas River Basin, proposed implementation - From the implementation options, formulate a recommended proposed implementation plan in consultation with the State and the ArkDSS Advisory Committee, and options for implementation develop options for implementation of the ArkDSS considering needs, data availability, costs, and other appropriate factors.
The ACRE grant program has funded 56 projects since its inception in 2007. These projects span many areas of renewable energy (RE) including: anaerobic digestion (biogas), biochar, biofuels, biomass combustion, energy efficiency, energy storage, micro-hydro, solar, and wind. These projects have successfully fulfilled ACRE's mission of: 1) advancing knowledge in the area of RE within the agriculture industry in CO; 2) funding a variety of projects (research, feasibility studies, implementation of known technologies); 3) funding projects across different sectors of the agricultural industry (dryland and irrigation crop development, biofuels, animal husbandry, winter growth, etc.); and 4) diversifying funding across rural Colorado counties (projects have been implemented in thirty-five of Colorado's sixty-four counties).
