The leaves are changing and the weather is blustery, which can only mean one thing — this year’s NW CASC research fellows are kicking off their fellowship activities! These 13 fellows represent each of our consortium universities across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Throughout the fellowship year, each fellow will conduct research in close collaboration with regional natural resource managers and decision-makers to produce science on climate change impacts and adaptation actions, while receiving training in the principles of actionable science.
