The Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) deliver science to help fish, wildlife, water, land, and people adapt to a changing climate. Learn more about our work and accomplishments in the reports below or visit our website at www.usgs.gov/casc.
~300 word summary: Example: The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) is hosted by the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU Boulder) with consortium partners University of Montana (UM), South Dakota State University (SDSU), Conservation Science Partners (CSP), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the Great Plains Tribal Water Alliance (GPTWA). During the period of 2018 - 2023, the NC CASC consortium will strive to i) deliver the best climate science for resource managers derived through co-production; ii) capitalize on the wealth of big, diverse data to inform resource management decisions at an appropriate scale in the region; and iii) leverage work within and across CASCs through open science...
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. These shapefiles represent the 9 CASC regions and the national CASC that comprise the CASC network, highlighting...

The National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC), formerly named the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, was established by Congress in 2008. Housed within the USGS, NCASC was tasked with providing science to help managers of the country's fish and wildlife resources respond to the impacts of climate change. To meet this goal, NCASC established the 8 regional CASCs. The documents found on this page were foundational to the development of the CASCs. For more information about the CASC network, please visit: www.usgs.gov/casc.
The CASC Communications Guidelines document outlines the National Climate Adaptation Science Center’s (NCASC) minimum requirements for communications products developed by the regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) for projects or initiatives that were funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory for all CASC consortia members and will be included as part of each CASC’s annual review. Please direct questions to casc@usgs.gov.
Each CASC is a collaborative arrangement between the USGS National CASC and a regional host university. Each CASC is reviewed on an annual basis, and a larger review is undertaken at the conclusion of each 5-year agreement. These requirements help ensure appropriate oversight of public resources and support USGS decisions regarding annual funding for and selection of new host institutions. Near the conclusion of the host agreement, an external review team conducts an evaluation of the scientific content, approach, and results of each CASC and its relative success in reaching key stakeholder groups. These reviews are generally held in the fourth year of the five-year award, in advance of the issuance of a funding...

The Advisory Committee on Climate Change and Natural Resource Science (ACCCNRS) was established in 2013 to advise the Secretary of the Interior on the operations of the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and the Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (renamed in 2018 as the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers). ACCCNRS was composed of 25 members that represented (1) State and local governments, including state membership entities; (2) Nongovernmental organizations, including those whose primary mission is professional and scientific and those whose primary mission is conservation and related scientific and advocacy activities; (3) American Indian tribes and...
