Alpine ecosystems can be considered "hard boundaries" where climate change is expected to have disproportionate effects on the species that call it home.

Climate Futures Toolbox - now on CRAN - is a shining example of the type of tool built at Earth Lab. It's an open-source software package that bridges the gap between “big” climate data and meaningful climate insights.

The NC CASC invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scientist in Ecology to perform research activities on the topic of Ecological Impacts and Transformation under Climate Change in the 21st Century.

Members of the NC CASC (Nicole DeCrappeo, Christy Miller Hesed, Jilmarie Stephens, Ulyana Pena, Tony Ciocco, Kynser Wahwahsuck, and Prasad Thota) are attending the Early Career Workshop put on by the NCASC and USGS in Albuquerque, New Mexico this week.

Putting science into policy and practice has been a long-standing challenge, especially in the realm of climate change and adaptation to climate change. To better guide future climate science investments, researchers would benefit from an understanding of what information is most relevant to managers.

The Lakota Climate Summit is currently being held in Rapid City, South Dakota, from October 18 - 20, 2022. Members of the NC CASC will be presenting on changes to water, preparation for extreme weather, and Tribal climate resilience.

How did rapid ecological change and transformation in the Middle and Southern Rockies unfold during a previous, dramatic climate warming? Answering this question could help resource managers better prepare for such phenomena in the future.

New research is showing that contrary to past thinking of drought as a slow process taking multiple seasons or years to fully develop, fast-evolving drying events are becoming more common.
