NC CASC post-doc in ecology

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.

CASC Early Career Workshop

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.

Collaboratively Producing Climate Information for Managing Natural Resources

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

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.

Rapid Ecological Change & Transformation Across the Middle and Southern Rockies During a Previous Climate Warming

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.

Fast Drought - An Oxymoron?

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.

Experts: More Diverse Science is Better Science

Congratulations to USGS Deputy Director, Dr. Aparna Bamzai-Dodson, on being quoted in an E&E news article. As an attendee of the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union, Bamzai-Dodson emphasized the importance of diverse groups in finding creative solutions to complex problems such as global warming.

Dr. William Travis Quoted in Discovery Magazine

“Adapting to the current climate is not necessarily what you want to do for the future climate,” says William Travis, a geographer at CU Boulder.
