The Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) partner with natural and cultural resource managers, tribes and indigenous communities, and university researchers to provide science that helps fish, wildlife, ecosystems, and the communities they support adapt to climate change. The CASCs provide managers and stakeholders with information and decision-making tools to respond to the effects of climate change. While each CASC works to address specific research priorities within their respective region, CASCs also collaborate across boundaries to address issues within shared ecosystems, watersheds, and landscapes.

The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) work to provide natural resource managers with the tools and information they need to develop and execute management strategies that address the impacts of climate change on fish, wildlife and their habitats. The National CASC (NCASC) is a part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Ecosystems Mission Area and acts as the managing entity for the nine regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs). The National and Regional CASCs partner closely with natural and cultural resource managers and scientists from inside and outside of government to gather the information and build the tools needed to help fish and wildlife and their habitats and ecosystems...

The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) work with natural and cultural resource managers to gather the scientific information and build the tools needed to help fish, wildlife and ecosystems adapt to the impacts of climate change. The National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC) is the managing entity for the nine regional CASCs and is located at the U.S. Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia. Both the NCASC and regional CASCs each fund a portfolio of science projects on an annual basis. To learn more about the NCASC, please visit: www.usgs.gov/casc/national
