September/October 2022 Newsletter is Available Online
Check out the September/October issue of our newsletter. We strive to update you on NC CASC science, opportunities and events across our region.
Welcome to Caitlin Littlefield!
Caitlin Littlefield (she/her) is a Lead Scientist at Conservation Science Partners. She is a broadly trained landscape ecologist who works at the intersection of forest ecology, conservation biology, and climate change adaptation.
National Adaptation Forum
Several NC CASC members are presenting (or are being represented) in Baltimore, MD this week (Oct 25 - 27, 2022) at the National Adaptation Forum (NAF).
Rapid Ecological Change & Transformation Across the Middle and Southern Rockies During a Previous Climate Warming
How did rapid ecological change and transformation in the Middle and Southern Rockies unfold during a previous, dramatic climate warming? Answering this question could help resource managers better prepare for such phenomena in the future.
Upcoming NC CASC webinar
Join our next webinar, Sustainable Management of Bison in a Changing World, featuring Dr. Jeff Martin of South Dakota State University. November 10, 2022 at 11 AM MDT.
The Lakota Climate Summit
The Lakota Climate Summit is currently being held in Rapid City, South Dakota, from October 18 - 20, 2022. Members of the NC CASC will be presenting on changes to water, preparation for extreme weather, and Tribal climate resilience.
Collaboratively Producing Climate Information for Managing Natural Resources
Putting science into policy and practice has been a long-standing challenge, especially in the realm of climate change and adaptation to climate change. To better guide future climate science investments, researchers would benefit from an understanding of what information is most relevant to managers.
CASC Early Career Workshop
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.
Cross-Park RAD Project
How institutional context and emotions shape manager decisions to resist, accept, or direct change in transforming ecosystems: a cross- case study in four national parks
Indigenous Peoples Day
Tribal Nations are unique partners for us since their connection to the environment is often thousands of years old. We at NC CASC are committed to working with them to create usable and relevant science to build climate resilience.
