ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for Modeling
U.S. Housing Density Growth
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
the availability of a final Geographic Information System (GIS) tool
and final user's guide titled, ``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools
and Datasets for Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth'' (EPA/600/R-09/
143F). The tool and its documentation were prepared by the National
Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within EPA's Office of
Research and Development. The GIS tool can be used to modify land use
scenarios for the conterminous United States. ICLUS stands for
Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios, a project which is described
in the 2009 EPA Report, ``Land-Use Scenarios: National-Scale Housing-
Density Scenarios Consistent with Climate Change Storylines.'' These
scenarios are broadly consistent with global-scale, peer-reviewed
storylines of population growth and economic development, which are used by climate change modelers to develop projections of future climate.
DATES: The GIS tool and documentation will be available on or about
September 8, 2010.
ADDRESSES: ``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for
Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth'' and the geoprocessing tools will
be available to download via an ftp site on the NCEA's home page under
the Recent Additions and Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea.
A limited number of paper copies of the User's Manual are available
from the Information Management Team, NCEA; telephone: 703-347-8561;
