Dr. Crist was the project principal investigator leading a large multi-disciplinary and multi-organizational team to conduct four rapid ecoregional assessments (the Central and Mojave Basin and Range, the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, and the Madrean Archipelago of the Southwest) for the Bureau of Land Management. The REAs were conducted systematically throughout the Western U.S. in support of BLM’s landscape management. They generated considerable data and analyses to answer dozens of specific management questions that can guide ecoregional management direction. The efforts produced an extensive inventory and modeling of conservation elements and change agents with ~80 different analyses on extent of elements and change agents and their interactions including climate change and renewable energy scenario assessments. The work was delivered as large spatial databases, extensive documentation, and an extensive final report and appendices. The Madrean project was conducted almost exclusively with the NatureServe Vista DSS, delivered to BLM and also used on the Fort Huachuca project described elsewhere.
