New tools available: designing corridors for climate change
We have a new set of tools available for designing linkages based on topographic-soil land facets. These tools provide a method to complement traditional corridor design techniques in order to better plan for impending climate change.

$8 million to be spent on wildlife crossing structures north of Tucson, Arizona
Last Thursday, $8.2 million was authorized to be spent on 2 underpasses and 1 overpass for wildlife north of Tucson, AZ to provide connectivity between the Tortolita and Catalina Mountain...and our linkage design helped inform the effort!

Uncertainty analysis of least-cost modeling for designing wildland linkages
Our paper on conducting uncertainty analysis for wildland linkages was just published in Ecological Applications. Our approach to uncertainty analysis (which can be called a worst-case scenario approach) is appropriate for complex models in which distribution of the input parameters cannot be specified.
