It’s summer at CU Boulder, and that means it's time for the next slate of NC CASC Rapid Climate Assessment Program (RCAP) projects to begin! The RCAP is designed to develop a series of short, well-defined Rapid Climate Assessments (RCAs) to provide timely data, quick identification of vulnerabilities and risks, and provide crucial information for implementing strategies and making informed decisions. 

The Tribal Climate Leaders Program provides science education & research opportunities for Indigenous students while supporting the integration of their new knowledge & experience with their tribes and on their reservations.

Seamus Land is the participatory science fellow with the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center. His work with USGS and the NC CASC will focus on developing shared concepts, language, and practices to support participatory and actionable science efforts across the agency.
