Hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks' International Arctic Research Center with a USGS-hosted office in Anchorage, the Alaska CASC works with natural and cultural resource managers, policy makers, Alaska Native Tribes, and researchers across the state to produce actionable, user-informed science. They prioritize making climate models Alaska-relevant and informing communities through research.
To facilitate communication and collaboration with Alaska Native Tribes, the Alaska CASC is joined by several Tribal Climate Resilience Liaisons.
Consortium members:
- University of Alaska - Fairbanks (Host)
- University of Alaska - Anchorage
- University of Alaska - Southeast
Science priorities include:
- Creating high-resolution climate models to help forecast species and ecosystem responses to climate change at different scales.
- Integrating physical climate models with ecological, habitat, and population response models.
- Developing methods to assess the vulnerability of species, habitats, and human communities to climate change.
- Developing standardized approaches to modeling, monitoring, data management and decision support.
