Summary

The Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s (MW CASC) Strategic Science Agenda will guide the CASC’s work through 2026, helping to identify which projects should be funded and which partnerships need to be cultivated. Currently, the Strategic Science Agenda is at an interim stage. The Interim Science Priorities for the Midwest CASC are structured around five management challenges: 1. Heavy precipitation events and drought 2. Loss of winter 3. Altered hydrological regimes 4. Novel terrestrial landscapes 5. Barriers to and opportunities for adaptation For each management challenge, there are approximately 10 science priorities., for a total of 51 interim science priorities. We are conducting a technical assessment to support the [...]

Purpose

In the next stage of the assessment, the USGS will revise the interim list based on the findings reported here. In the final stage, we will invite experts to group sessions to characterize the updated list of science priorities along three axes: (1) state of knowledge / amount of uncertainty, (2) technical complexity and feasibility of answering the question, and (3) opportunity for impact. This information will help the USGS focus and prioritize their funding and outreach efforts in order to strategically impact climate adaptation science in the region.
