Applications now being accepted for the USGS NCASC Science to Action Fellowship Program

The Science to Action Fellowship is provided through a partnership between the USGS National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC) and Michigan State University (MSU). The program supports graduate students in developing a product that puts science into action, directly applying scientific research related to climate change impacts on fish, wildlife, or ecosystems to decision making about natural resources.

CIRES Special Seminar: Dr. Jennifer Balch, "The Human Imprint on Modern Fire Regimes"

Dr. Balch's research aims to understand the patterns and processes that underlie disturbance and ecosystem recovery, particularly how people are shifting fire regimes and the consequences. There are three ingredients needed for fire: fuel to burn, hot & dry conditions, and an ignition source.

National CASC Network

The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) is one of nine Climate Adaptation Science Centers across the nation. Together, the national network serves the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands. Like the NC CASC, each regional center is a federal-university partnership comprised of a host university, a multi-institution consortium of regional partners, and USGS staff and scientists.
