The Diverse Knowledge Systems for Climate Adaptation (DKS) Fellowship

Explore the Diverse Knowledge Systems for Climate Adaptation (DKS) Fellowship hosted by the USGS National Climate Adaptation Science Center.  

The DKS Fellowship supports graduate students as they use their diverse experiences, viewpoints, value systems, and cultural knowledge to strengthen their climate adaptation efforts. Over the course of the one-year fellowship, students collaborate with USGS researchers to develop a project applying their unique knowledge system to applied climate adaptation research. USGS mentors work with fellows to identify how their science can help on-the-ground practitioners understand, plan for, and adapt to climate change impacts.

The DKS Fellowship is open to students at CASC Consortium Institutions and Minority-serving institutions. Applications typically open in early December.
