NC CASC looks forward to CIRES' Rendezvous!

Date

The NC CASC looks forward to the upcoming CIRES Rendezvous at the CU Boulder campus, where we'll present a poster on the work that we do to advance actionable climate adaptation science through a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach. Hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder and supported by a diverse consortium of universities, Tribal organizations, and NGOs, the NC CASC develops tools, syntheses, and capacity-building programs to address regional climate challenges. Its work centers on six priority management issues—including habitat loss, connectivity and transformation; water availability and drought; wildlife disease; invasives and encroachment; wildfire; and phenology—and four key ecosystems: freshwater/riparian, grasslands, sagebrush steppe, and mountainous regions. The center emphasizes Tribal engagement, integration of Indigenous knowledge, and cross-cutting themes such as ecological transformation and human dimensions of climate adaptation. Through science support, rapid assessments, and partnerships with national programs, the NC CASC empowers practitioners to make informed, ethical, and locally relevant adaptation decisions.
