The South Central CASC explores ecosystems, wildlife, water resources, extreme events, droughts, fire, climate projections, and much more.
Established in 2012, the South Central CASC provides scientific information, tools, and techniques to resource managers and communities in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico.
Established in 2012, the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (SC CASC) provides decision-makers with the science, tools, and information they need to address the impacts of climate variability and change on their areas of responsibility. The SC CASC seeks to transform how climate science is conducted and applied in the south-central United States. They support big thinking, including multi-institutional and stakeholder-driven approaches to assessing the impact of climate extremes on natural and cultural resources. Since its inception, the SC CASC has also made it a priority to focus on working with Tribal Nations in the region.
To facilitate communication and collaboration with the 68 Tribal Nations in the region, the South Central CASC is joined by several Tribal Community Resilience Liaisons.
