Jackson Valler is a Biologist for the USGS National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC).
Jackson supports the NCASC and the CASC regional offices with project management and science administration. He joined the USGS NCASC in 2022 as a Presidential Management Fellow.
Jackson received his M.S. in Biology from the University of San Francisco in 2022, where his research examined the effects of fire on a local threatened snake species, Alameda whipsnake, and other reptiles. He also has a B.S. in Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. His background is primarily working with herpetofauna, but he has experience and enjoys working with a wide variety of fauna and flora.

Biodiversity and Climate Change Assessment
Understanding the interplay between biodiversity and climate change is critical for the implementation of effective and lasting solutions to climate change and for maintaining biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people. The USGS was charged by the US Congress in the Fiscal Year 2022 budget with conducting an assessment that characterizes the state of understanding concerning linkages...
CAP Future of Aquatic Flows Cohort (2022-24)
The 2022-2024 Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows cohort will explore how climate change is altering aquatic flows in streams and rivers across the country and how climate can be integrated into aquatic ecosystem management.
CAP Future of Fire Cohort (2020-2022)
The inaugural 2021-2023 Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows cohort explores the many ways climate change is altering wildland fire regimes across the country, combining their diverse experiences to synthesize how 21st century fires affect natural and human communities and how managers can prepare for future fires.
