To enable the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (NRCASC) to be responsive to the research and management needs of Federal and State agencies by working with partners to provide science and technical support regarding the impacts of climate change in fish, wildlife, plants and ecological processes and the mechanisms for adaptation to, mitigation of, or prevention of those impacts. Center activities will focus on providing national and regional habitat and population modeling and forecasting tools, integrating physical climate models with ecological models, assessing vulnerabilities and forecasting changes, and developing standardized approaches.

No current data available. Approximately 50 climate change science project grants or cooperative agreements (new or continued from prior years) across eight DOI CSCs and NCCWSC totaling approximately $6.5 Million.
In FY 2018 the NRCASC program funded over 48 projects totaling $6.0 Million that address the DOI priorities.
In FY 2019 the NRCASC program receiving over 100 applications and issued approximately 50 project awards totaling approximately $6.5 Million focused on the DOI priorities.
Past Fiscal Year (2020) FY2020 Overview: 92 Research Projects; 40 datasets and tools and 180 Science Articles. In Fiscal Year 2020 (October 2019-September 2020), the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASC) worked closely with partners and stakeholders to accomplish a multitude of science-based achievements. Some highlights include creating a framework for measuring the ability of plants and animals to adapt to climate change, integrating climate science with local knowledge in Hawai’i, providing climate-related training for students and professionals, incorporating scenario planning into national monument adaptation planning and more. Through these activities, the CASC program continues to find new ways to create and share climate adaptation science with resource managers and users. Some of the projects included: • Climate Vulnerability of Aquatic Species to Changing Stream Temperatures and Wildfire Across the Yukon and Kuskokwim River Basins, Alaska • The Influence of Stream Flow Patterns on Juvenile Salmon Growth in Southeast Alaska • Science to Inform the Management of Mangrove Ecosystems Undergoing Sea Level Rise at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida • Understanding Impacts of Sea-Level Rise and Land Management on Critical Coastal Marsh Habitat
In Fiscal Year 2021, the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASC) Program initiated approximately 70 science research projects. Obligations for the CASC science projects will be made under the program activity via grants or cooperative agreement awards through the USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants (OAG). The annual report for Fiscal Year 2021 will be available following the end of the fiscal year and provide the current year accomplishments.
Past Fiscal Year (2022) Fiscal Year 2022: The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) continued to bring together scientific researchers with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, waters, and lands across the country adapt to changing conditions through research of the expansion of invasive species to wildfire, from drought to sea-level rise, and new and evolving challenges for ecosystems across the nation.
Past Fiscal Year (2023) Fiscal Year 2023: The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) will continue to bring together scientific researchers with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, waters, and lands across the country adapt to changing conditions through research of the expansion of invasive species to wildfire, from drought to sea-level rise, and new and evolving challenges for ecosystems across the nation.
Current Fiscal Year (2024) Fiscal Year 2024: The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) will continue to bring together scientific researchers with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, waters, and lands across the country adapt to changing conditions through research of the expansion of invasive species to wildfire, from drought to sea-level rise, and new and evolving challenges for ecosystems across the nation.
Budget Fiscal Year (2025) Fiscal Year 2025: The National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) will continue to bring together scientific researchers with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, waters, and lands across the country adapt to changing conditions through research of the expansion of invasive species to wildfire, from drought to sea-level rise, and new and evolving challenges for ecosystems across the nation.
