National Park Service staff, with support from NC CASC, outline how protected places can adapt to a changing climate

NPS and NC CASC have been collaborating to forward climate-informed park planning. NPS staff outline “Repeatable approaches to work with scientific uncertainty and advance climate change adaptation in US national Parks” in the January edition of Park Stewardship Forum.

USGS researchers and colleagues identify potential maladaptive climate response in riparian systems

USGS researchers, looking to understand how climate may affect riparian tree regeneration, outline how warming temperatures may lead to asynchrony in the timing of riparian seed release compared to when there is either sufficient moisture or when there are areas free from flood scour necessary for successful recruitment.

NC CASC funds a year full of impactful research in 2019

In addition to numerous reports and fact sheets, at least 15 articles in high-impact journals were published in 2019 that were in part funded by the NC CASC.
