Did you miss the NC CASC webinar on April 11, 2024? This presentation discussed various tools available through https://ClimateToolbox.ORG to access downscaled future climate projections relevant for ecological applications, examine future climate uncertainty and develop quantitative information to inform scenario planning activities.
