Interested in learning more about Cultural Intelligence? Come hear NC CASC's James Rattling Leaf at CU Boulder on January 24. The hybrid session will provide recommendations for working with Tribal communities based on the knowledge that long-term relationship building with these communities is the foundation upon which educational programs, research collaborations, and other initiatives must be co-created.

The NC CASC was represented at the 2023 American Geophysical Union fall meeting by Aparna Bamzai-Dodson (USGS Assistant Regional Administrator) and Meagan Oldfather (USGS Climate Adaptation Specialist). Read more about their contributions.

Two new R-shiny apps are now available for analysis of large-scale drivers of regional precipitation to inform regional water availability. These apps were developed as part of the 2023 Rapid Climate Assessment Program (RCAP).

New NC CASC-funded research is now out, in a paper discussing the challenges of ecosystem management in the face of climate change. It suggests that traditional methods based on historical conditions may be inadequate due to ongoing ecological transformations.

The Science to Action Fellowship program supports graduate students in directly applying scientific research related to climate change impacts on fish, wildlife, or ecosystems to decision making about natural resources.

Aparna Bamzai-Dodson, Imtiaz Rangwala, and James Rattling Leaf, Sr. from the NC CASC contributed to the NOAA/NIDIS report, "Drought Assessment in a Changing Climate: Priority Actions and Research Needs." Learn more and read the report here!

In case you're headed to the AGU Fall Meeting this year and need assistance with your presentation, poster, or general public communications skills, please join Ulyana and Hailey at 11 AM tomorrow (Tuesday, December 5) for an AGU work session.

This webinar will detail the broader process of developing a menu of climate adaptation strategies and approaches for terrestrial wildlife management to help managers translate broad concepts into specific tactics that will respond to climate change risks and meet desired management goals.
