Synthesis and Tools for Climate Adaptation in the Southeast and US Caribbean
Managers in the Southeast and US Caribbean face challenges accessing, interpreting, and using climate adaptation information, especially under tight decision-making timelines. Through this Southeast CASC project, researchers will co-produce a synthesis of regional climate adaptation science, identify information gaps, and improve access to actionable climate information by creating interactive tools and multi-sector collaborations.
Project Summary
A wealth of climate information exists for the Southeast and US Caribbean, but managers face challenges accessing, interpreting, and using climate adaptation information effectively, especially under the rapid decision-making timelines they often encounter.
This project will use a co-production process to synthesize the current state of climate adaptation science and best practices for the Southeast and US Caribbean, identify regional data gaps, and create co-produced tools to improve access to and visualization of climate information. Multi-sector working groups will address priority topics identified in the synthesis, fostering collaboration among Southeast CASC Consortium members, USGS scientists, Tribal Nations, and management partners.
Final products will include peer-reviewed publications, interactive web tools, visual summaries, large-scale adaptation project maps, webinars, and a report identifying research gaps to inform future priorities. By enhancing access, understanding, communication, and actionable strategies, this project will support managers and practitioners as they advance effective climate adaptation efforts.
