The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center is a partnership between the US Geological Survey, the University of Colorado Boulder and six other consortium partners. The NC CASC fosters innovative and applied research in support of Tribal, federal, state, and local natural resource management and decision-making. The North Central center is one of nine regional climate centers in the national CASC network created to help meet the changing needs of land and resource managers across the country. It serves Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska.
Precision in Actionable Science
A new framework from the U.S. Geological Survey challenges scientists to think more carefully about who their research is actually intended to serve. Rather than assuming a generic "resource manager" will use the results, the framework encourages researchers to answer six simple questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? And How?
NC CASC's Practitioner Tools Workshop: Building Climate Adaptation Capacity with Tribal Resource Professionals
In early June, scientists at the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) gathered with tribal resource managers for a day-and-a-half of hands-on learning, in-depth conversation, and relationship-building around climate adaptation science and tools.
