	Mapping the current and future suitability of specialty crop cultivation in the Northwest 2017, USDA Northwest Climate Hub I participated in this project by creating the Future Crop Suitability Tool, which is now accessible in the Climate Toolbox. It is an interactive tool with maps and graphs of future projections of locations of crop climate suitability, timing of crop phenology stages and irrigation demand over the Western US. This project was led by Lauren Parker and John Abatzoglou at the University of Idaho and supported with funding from the USDA Northwest Climate Hub
	Building Tribal Capacity for Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment 2017, Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative I participated in this project by creating the Tribal Climate Tool, which is now accessible in the Climate Toolbox. It is an interactive tool with online summaries of projected climate change (e.g., snowpack, stream temperature, wildfire, vegetation) for tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin. This project was led by Meade Krosby (Climate Impacts Group) at the University of Washington and supported with funding from the DOI Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center and Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative .
	Integrated Scenarios of the Future Northwest Environment 2012-2014, 2015, Northwest Adaptation Climate Science Center I participated in the Integrated Scenarios project in two ways 1) as a data provider of the climate datasets and 2) as a web developer for the project webpage. The goal of the Integrated Scenarios project was to produce a consistent set of downscaled climate, hydrology and vegetation projections from the CMIP5 global climate model projections. The size of the resulting datasets made the data inaccessible to most, which is why we created tools on the webpage to help people 1) download the data and 2) visualize summaries of the data. Many of these tools are now available in the Climate Toolbox. This project was led by Phil Mote at Oregon State University and supported by the Northwest Adaptation Climate Science Center.
	Regional Approaches to Climate Change - Pacific Northwest Agriculture 2012-2017, USDA-NIFA I participated in the REACCH project at the University of Idaho which aimed to investigate future projections for wheat farming in the Pacific Northwest. I participated in this 6-year project in two ways: 1) as a data provider of the future climate datasets and 2) as a web developer of tools to improve access to the data. I designed several focus groups with wheat and pea farmers and coordinated all aspects of a large scale user testing of the tools with over 70 participants. Many of these tools are now available in the Climate Toolbox. This project was led by Sanford Eigenbrode at the University of Idaho and supported by USDA-NIFA as a large Coordinated Agricultural Projects (CAP) addressing climate change.
