NW CASC Research Fellowship Program: Training Early-Career Scientists in Developing Decision-Relevant Science
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) advances actionable science relevant to today’s emerging climate-related risks by supporting research by early-career NW CASC Fellows. The NW CASC’s Research Fellowship Program enables graduate students and postdocs from a variety of scientific backgrounds to co-produce actionable science in collaboration with regional natural resource managers and decision-makers. Fellows receive support for research aligned with the NW CASC Science Agenda, as well as instruction in the principles and practices of co-production of decision-relevant, or actionable, science. The NW CASC University Consortium’s Research Fellowship Program supports climate adaptation research...

Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center Consortium- Hosted by University of Washington (2017-2022)
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) delivers science to help fish, wildlife, water, land and people adapt to a changing climate. The NW CASC is hosted by the University of Washington in partnership with Boise State University, Oregon State University, the University of Montana, Washington State University, and Western Washington University. The NW CASC university consortium is designed to support coproduction of actionable science through all stages of the climate adaptation cycle, including awareness raising, risk assessment, and selection, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of response options. Research efforts focus on the science research themes outlined in the NW CASC’s 2018-2023...

State of Knowledge Syntheses: Comprehensive, User-Friendly Science Compilations, Data Summaries and Adaptation Guides to Support Management of Northwest Species and Habitat in a Changing Climate
Managing species and habitat in a changing climate requires locally specific information about expected changes in the physical environment, key stressors and related ecological changes. Federal investments have supported the development of a significant scientific knowledge base detailing potential future conditions for many Northwest ecosystem types and geographies. Yet scientists, managers and other decision makers continue to be challenged by the difficulty of efficiently assessing the current state of understanding regarding both impacts and pathways for adaptation. For example, while the most recent Washington and Oregon State Wildlife Action Plans included detailed consideration of climate change-related...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
