• Abstract:
  This report provides information about potential climate change impacts in central New Mexico and their possible implications for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rio Puerco Field Office (RPFO) transportation network. The report considers existing global and regional climate change projections and analyzes the results of locally downscaled climate change projections corresponding to different RPFO ecoregions; identifies BLM's options for adapting the transportation system to climate change impacts, as well as how RPFO can incorporate climate change adaptation and resilience into its TTMP; and considers opportunities for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction, or climate change mitigation, at Rio Puerco.
