The Department of the Interior (DOI) places a high value on diversity of experience and cultural perspectives and encourages applications from all interested eligible candidates. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) are fundamental principles that guide the Department and allow us to successfully achieve our mission. The USGS is an equal opportunity employer.
The CASCs were established by the Department of the Interior (DOI) in 2008 to provide objective scientific information and tools that managers of land, water, wildlife, and cultural resources in the United States can use to adapt to climate change. The DOI charged the National CASC to establish “the Department’s climate science centers which provide scientific information, tools, and techniques that land, water, wildlife, cultural resource managers, and other interested parties can apply to anticipate, monitor and adapt to climate and ecologically-driven responses at area-to-local-scales.” (120 DM 5).
Each of the nine regional CASCs is a federal-university partnership. whereby USGS awards and manages large cooperative agreements with universities to host the regional CASCs as well as conduct research. Each CASC works with Federal, Tribal, and State management agencies across the region to discern and ensure investments in science are sound and relevant to the needs of those agencies.
