Members of the NC CASC (Nicole DeCrappeo, Christy Miller Hesed, Jilmarie Stephens, Ulyana Pena, Tony Ciocco, Kynser Wahwahsuck, and Prasad Thota) are attending the Early Career Workshop put on by the NCASC and USGS in Albuquerque, New Mexico this week.

The goals of the workshop include exposure to foundational skills and knowledge for climate adaptation science; learning about research methods, engagement skills, and methods that foster development and delivery of actionable science; increasing understanding of ethics in working with stakeholders and partners; and expanding a network of scientists (peers and mentors) to support a career.
