Subject: [Geospatial] REMINDER: Geospatial/GIS Meetup tomorrow, May 12
Message-ID: <CAA6hGJ+MATaZHZ_fQ=_6KzBiiQvumVErAj8iH8ObX9DqFHM4Qw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

This is a gentle reminder that our next Geospatial/GIS meetup will be held
*tomorrow*,*Tuesday May 11*, from 12:00 - 12:50 pm.

https://ucr.zoom.us/j/94569944311?pwd=RmnFwgZmCwUPr4amavwoXuXwHMGGl4.1

Meeting ID: 945 6994 4311

Passcode: 613491

Danelle Angeline Baronia with the Center for Conservation Biology's Sweet
Lab will present on "The *P*rioritization,* A*daptation, and *R*esilience
for *C*limate (*PARC*) Toolkit for Desert Climate Resilience."

The Desert Climate Resilience Initiative (DCRI) for the Coachella Valley
builds scientific expertise and community engagement around the
relationship between native plant communities, climate change and carbon
stores in the desert, and building equity within the Coachella Valley. This
program has built a collaborative space and framework from which to launch
research, partnerships, workshops, and projects focusing on vegetation,
plants, and resilience to climate change.

The Prioritization, Adaptation, and Resilience for Climate (PARC) toolkit
is a public web tool created for the DCRI that focuses on promoting
resilience and identifying needs for promoting outdoor equity within the
Coachella Valley. We have compiled existing data on native plant species,
ecosystem dynamics, and carbon storage in a science-based tool that will:
1) Provide decision support for sustainable land management with an
understanding of capacity and ability to enhance community climate
resilience to prioritize land acquisitions, 2) Inform the public on the
current distribution of carbon stocks within the region and ways that
native plant diversity may change in the future, and 3) Promote equity and
access through the inclusion of trails and other recreational access areas,
as well as culturally important plants to the local indigenous community.
Join this session to learn about the work that went into creating this web
tool and to explore ways to navigate the PARC Toolkit.

*Danelle Angeline Baronia is a Field Biologist and the Outreach and
Engagement Lead at the University of California, Riverside?s Center for
Conservation Biology Sweet Lab. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in
Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution and a Master of Science degree in Biology,
both from the University of California, San Diego. With the Center of
Conservation Biology, she has helped to spearhead their Desert Climate
Resilience Initiative that is focused on building climate resilience within
the Coachella Valley.*

 Hello everyone,

Please find the notes from our May meetup attached.

Watch the meetup recording

In the notes and recording, you'll find information about registration
options for the Esri User Conference in July, and a reminder about managing
your ArcGIS Online content if you'll be leaving UCR soon.

Thank you to Danelle Angeline Baronia for leading us through the features
and backstory of the Prioritization, Adaptation, and Resilience for Climate
(PARC) Toolkit for Desert Climate Resilience. The platform contains a
variety of information, including predicted shifts in the ranges of desert
vegetation species under three different climate change scenarios. This
will help stakeholders and the public in the Coachella Valley understand
tradeoffs in preserving lands that may be under development pressure.

Our June meetup will be an in-person faculty and researcher
discussion, date and time TBD. We won't have a meetup in July, but meetups
will be scheduled for August and September. Please let me know if you have
an interest in presenting at either of those meetups.

If the end of Spring quarter finds you leaving UCR, I want to wish you
well, and thank you for your interest in geospatial research and
instruction at UCR!

Best,
