The CASC network has supported over 200 students and early-career scientists and managers through 10+ fellowship and training programs. Participants conduct groundbreaking research on climate change impacts and adaptation, develop skills in science communication and partner engagement, and build networks of peers and mentors to support future career development.
Mentoring
The CASCs are committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all students, early-career staff, fellows, and other mentees in the CASC network.

Diverse Knowledge Systems for Climate Adaptation Fellowship
The Diverse Knowledge Systems in Climate Adaptation Fellowship supports graduate students as they use their diverse experiences, viewpoints, value systems, and cultural knowledge to strengthen their climate adaptation efforts.
Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow Program
To advance climate adaptation science and increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM fields, the Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow Program brings undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty together with CASC partners to cultivate the next generation of climate scientists.
CASC Network Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellows Program
The USGS Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) hosts an innovative nationally-coordinated postdoctoral research program that provides cohorts of early-career researchers with management-relevant research experiences on the effects of climate change on fish, wildlife and ecosystems.
Science to Action Fellowship
The Science to Action Fellowship program supports graduate students in developing a product that puts science into action, directly applying scientific research related to climate change impacts on fish, wildlife, or ecosystems to decision making about natural resources.
