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 Califon cluster is named for the town of Califon, New Jersey, U.S.A., near the epicenter of a 4.8 Mw earthquake on April 5, 2024. Several M3 events have occurred in the area but no other M4 events in recent decades. Except for the April 5 event, there are very few observations beyond ~700 km. Nevertheless the area is well instrumented and the small earthquakes are very well located. Eight of the late aftershocks of the April 5, 2024 earthquake were recorded by a temporary network at very close range, which helped constrain their focal depths and the crustal velocity model. All events have depth control from near-source or local-distance readings. ...
The Nabesna cluster is named for the settlement of Nabesna in the northern part of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in southeasternAlaska. The cluster includes three M5 earthquakes. All events are observed to at least 5° epicentral distance. All events have depth control from near-source or local-distance readings. The station coverage for location calibration is excellent. Number of events: 137 Calibration type: direct calibration using data to 1.0 degrees; hypocentroid calibration level = 0.9 km Epicentral calibration range: 1 - 3 km Date range: 19841123 - 20240208 Latitude range: 61.810...
Provided here is a globally distributed catalog of earthquakes and nuclear explosions with calibrated hypocenters, referred to as the Global Catalog of Calibrated Earthquake Locations or GCCEL. This dataset contains more than 23,736 earthquakes in 344 well distributed clusters. Currently there are more than 4M arrival times with the majority being the Pg, Pn, P, Sg, Sn and S phases. The term “calibrated” refers to the property that the hypocenters are minimally biased by unknown Earth structure and that the uncertainties are meaningful. Uncertainties are calculated using empirically determined variability of the arrival time data itself, specific to each calibrated cluster of hypocenters. The data are carefully...

Lifespan of salt marshes in New York are calculated using conceptual marsh units defined by Defne and Ganju (2018) and Welk and others (2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are local estimates which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter increase in Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) scenarios by 2100 from Sweet and others (2022). The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem...

Coastal wetlands purify water, protect coastal communities from storms, sequester (store) carbon, and provide habitat for fish and wildlife. They are also vulnerable to climate change. In particular, changes in winter climate (warmer temperatures and fewer freeze events) may transform coastal wetlands in the northern Gulf of Mexico, as mangrove forests are expected to expand their range and replace salt marshes. The objective of this research was to evaluate the ecological implications of mangrove forest migration and salt marsh displacement. As part of this project, researchers identified important thresholds for ecosystem changes and highlighted coastal areas in the southeastern U.S. (e.g., Texas, Louisiana,...
