Workshop on Climate Change Drivers that Potentially Affect Everglades Restoration
Past, Present, and Future Climate Change Drivers and Everglades Restoration
Organized by the Florida Coastal Everglades-Long Term Ecological Research (FCE-LTER)

| SUMMARY: |
We need to improve our current understanding of various interannual to multidecadal climate
oscillations and drivers, and our ability to place them into a management context for successful
Everglades restoration. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), in collaboration
with the Florida Coastal Everglades Long Term Ecological Research Program (FCE-LTER) hosted this
workshop in an effort to bring together scientists from around South Florida to address past,
present, and future Everglades climate drivers in a management framework, and to build
collaborations between specialists. This one-day workshop consisted of presentations by experts
followed by group discussions of critical topics. The findings of the workshop identified
paradoxes and gaps in our knowledge of climate drivers in South Florida, and began to formulate
multi-institutional collaborative efforts to advance our understanding of those issues.
