'''Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs)''' form a network managed by the [[Geological Survey|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.
