Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) form a network managed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to address the impacts of climate change on natural resources. There are nine regional CASCs, each focusing on specific geographic areas within the U.S. and its territories, collaborating with a variety of partners to deliver science-based solutions for climate adaptation.
Mission
The overarching mission of the CASCs is to develop and share scientific knowledge that supports adaptation to climate change. This involves conducting research, synthesizing existing science, facilitating collaboration, and translating science into practical applications for managers of natural and cultural resources.
Parent organization
The CASCs are part of the U.S. Geological Survey, which is under the U.S. Department of the Interior, responsible for broad scientific research in support of land, water, and natural resource management.
Legislation
The creation of the CASCs was authorized through the Department of the Interior's mandate, but specific legislation isn't detailed in the search results.
Number of employees
The total number of employees across all CASCs is not specified in the search results.
Organization structure
The CASCs operate with:
- National CASC Coordinator providing overarching leadership.
- Regional Administrators for each of the nine centers, managing regional activities.
- Consortium Universities involved in each region to facilitate research and education.
- Tribal Climate Resilience Liaisons to engage with Native American and indigenous communities.
List of programs
- Regional Research Programs tailored to local climate challenges
- Tribal Climate Adaptation Programs
- Science to Action Workshops and Symposia
- Fellowship and Internship Opportunities
Last total enacted budget
The specific budget for the entire CASC network isn't provided in the search results.
Leader
Dr. Aparna Bamzai serves as the National CASC Coordinator.
Services provided
The CASCs offer services including research support, decision-making tools, educational outreach, and stakeholder engagement. They focus on translating scientific findings into actionable strategies for managing natural resources, addressing issues like sea-level rise, altered fire regimes, and shifting species distributions.
Regulations overseen
CASCs do not oversee regulations but support compliance with environmental laws by providing scientific insights.
Headquarters address
The National CASC is located in Reston, Virginia, but specific addresses for regional centers vary.
