The Southeast CASC and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative jointly funded a project at North Carolina State University to study how managed forests can contribute to landscape connectivity under future climate change and land use predictions.

In a recently published article, Southeast CASC supported researchers assess suitable linked habitat for focal species in the southeastern U.S. under a changing climate.

Southeast CASC Graduate Student Intern Deja Perkins teamed up with young Black naturalists and scientists to launch a social media initiative called #BlackBirdersWeek.

Livingston Ledger has published an article about a study from Southeast CASC-supported researchers at North Carolina State University that found significant knowledge gaps in how to protect culturally significant sites from climate change. Researchers are now working with managers to identify possible solutions to these gaps.

Researchers with North Carolina State University, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Park Service collaborated on a decision support model to help with long-term preservation decisions for Cape Lookout National Seashore. 

When saltwater inundates coastal forests as sea levels rise, it kills salt-sensitive trees, leaving "ghost forests" of bare snags behind. A new study from North Carolina State University and the Southeast CASC explores how changes in vegetation affect coastal bird species.

Researchers at the Southeast CASC have developed a tool to better inform managers of climate adaptation plans for the preservation and persistence of cultural and historical resources affected by climate change.

A new study, supported by the Southeast CASC and recently published in PeerJ, explores how native and exotic trees can support pest management and conservation goals in urban areas.

Southeast CASC project "Protecting Cultural Resources in the Face of Climate Change" has received honorable mention for the 2017 Department of the Interior Environmental Achievement Award.

In recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we're exploring the ways in which the CASC network is supporting and partnering with Tribal nations and Indigenous communities to address science needs, build capacity, and inform climate adaptation planning.

Learn about some of our efforts to address the challenges of drought with these 10 examples from across the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center network.

A new study published in Water Resources Research examines the influence of development patterns on water use in North and South Carolina.

Fish and wildlife play crucial roles across ecosystems and in human society. High animal diversity contributes to healthy ecosystems, and many species provide important economic benefits to our communities.

A study out March 13 finds that urban trees can survive increased heat and insect pests fairly well - unless they are thirsty. 

Former Global Change Fellow Marketa Zimova is co-author on a new paper published in Science.

Following an open competition and extensive review by scientific experts, host institutions and consortium partners have been selected for the Alaska, Northwest, and Southeast Climate Science Centers.

Scientists from the USGS Georgia Coop Unit, together with the Southeast CSC and other partners are developing tools that decision makers can use to more formally account for uncertainties when moving forward with conservation and resource management.

Insects at higher latitudes will fare better as temperatures warm than those closer to the equator, according to a new publication from researchers working with the Southeast CSC.

Version 1.0 of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) has been released! SECAS is a collaborative effort between state fish and wildlife agencies, and federal and non-governmental partners.

From retreating glaciers in Alaska to severe drought in the Southwest, climate change is set to dramatically alter our national parks. Here are 10 CSC and NCCWSC projects that provide a snapshot of our work in national parks.

The USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers have been awarded honorable mention for the inaugural Climate Adaptation Leadership Award for Natural Resources for their outstanding work in raising awareness and addressing the impacts of climate change on the nation’s valuable natural resources.

USGS wishes to honor all mothers, of all species. Many of our research findings have and are shedding light on the lives of non-human moms.  

Providing scientific information that is directly useful to managers is not always as easy or straight-forward as you might think. It may even require a new way of thinking, in which scientific knowledge is “coproduced” by scientists and managers.

A new publication shows that climate change driven expansion of mangrove forests may bring about both above-ground (more vegetation) and below-ground (more peat) changes to coastal wetland ecosystems in the Southeast U.S.

New research from NCCWSC-funded scientists at North Carolina State University and the University of Montana shows that the evolutionary clock is ticking for snowshoe hares, which may not be able to keep up with the seasonal shifts caused by climate change.

Coastal managers and planners now have access to a new U.S. Geological Survey handbook that, for the first time, comprehensively describes the various models used to study and predict sea-level rise and its potential impacts on coasts.

A team of researchers focused on 20 common butterfly species in Ohio to examine the effect of temperature and urban density on butterfly emergence patterns.
