The Hawai‘I Rangeland Information Portal (H-RIP)
The Hawai‘i Rangeland Information Portal (H-RIP) provides Hawai‘i ranchers to get site-specific climate information and a forage growth outlook for their area of interest. There are four key functions: 1) Climate Dashboard with near-real-time weather and drought information; 2) Rainfall and drought outlooks; 3) Forage production decision support tool; 4) Historical rainfall and drought data for 100+ years.
Guam Rainfall Mapping
To improve climate change and drought resilience in Guam, we have developed gridded monthly rainfall maps based on existing PRISM climatology maps and a collection of rainfall gages located across the territory. These maps span the time period of 1954 to 2020, allowing us to explore long-term rainfall and drought trends across the landscape, including effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and possible relationships between drought and wildfires. This work is on-going in collaboration with researchers from the University of Guam and the National Weather Service.
