The North American Congress for Conservation Biology’s 2024 conference will take place from June 23-28 in Vancouver, BC - and several NC CASC scientists and partners have been involved in organizing a conference symposium session.

In the June issue of the Tribal Climate Resilience Newsletter, learn more about the Center for Tribal Digital Sovereignty, upcoming conferences and events, and job/funding opportunities.

In an upcoming publication, Spencer T. Vieira, Kimberly T. Davis, Zachary A. Holden, Andrew J. Larson, and Philip E. Higuera analyze post-fire and seasonal climate conditions to determine which factors most strongly influence regeneration of the Western larch.

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.

Members of the NC CASC team attended the annual CIRES Rendezvous yesterday. It was a great chance to meet up in person and showcase some of our work during the afternoon poster session!

Our last webinar of the academic year is now available on our YouTube channel, covering the modeling of invasive species considering climate to inform management activities. Thanks for joining us - we'll see you back in September!
