The NC CASC has an updated Strategic Science Plan that outlines priorities in climate adaptation science, collaboration and capacity building, and development of tools and communication projects for 2023-28. Written by USGS staff, the Strategic Science Plan outlines four major ecosystems (freshwater and riparian, grasslands, sagebrush steppe, and mountainous) and six management issues (habitat loss, water, wildlife disease, invasive, wildfire, and phenology) that apply in all or most of these systems.
