2021 Climate Adaptation Science Centers Annual Summary
April 14, 2022
In Fiscal Year 2021 (October 2020-September 2021), the U.S. Geological Survey National and Regional CASCs worked closely with partners to accomplish and disseminate a multitude of science-based achievements. This includes the CASC network welcoming the Midwest CASC as the ninth and final member to the CASC network, hosted at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. The CASCs also shone at the 2021 Climate Adaptation Leadership Awards (CALA) where the National CASC Chief, a Northeast CASC-supported program, and a South Central CASC Tribal Liaison were among those recognized by the 2021 CALAs given by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Through these activities, the CASC continue to find new ways to create and share climate adaptation science with resource managers and users.
