Tools and Tutorials:
CARA website resources can help in:
- Understanding potential impacts from changes in land use and climate
- Integrating scientific information into decisions
- Developing strategies for adapting to change
Under this heading you will find the following resources:
- Decision Tools and Tutorials provide information or interactive guidance regarding specific topics as they relate to land use or climate change. Topics include water resources, agricultural production, ecological resources and ecosystems, and human health
- CaraViz extends the website by adding important variables and more mapping options, enabling the exploration of socioeconomic, geographic and climate data in the CARA Region.
The CARA tools and tutorials are designed to help in understanding the issues and gathering, organizing, and presenting information for evaluating alternative strategies. They are intended to make the decision process more transparent, but are NOT decision "rules."
