The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) supports and delivers science that helps fish, wildlife, water, land and people adapt to a changing climate.

The overall direction and priorities for the research we support are outlined in our five-year Science Agenda, which was developed through a process of iterative collaboration between regional resource managers and scientists to identify key science needs associated with regional management priorities. The Agenda guides NW CASC investment in science across the region, through both Consortium- and USGS-directed research funding. The NW CASC Consortium supports climate adaptation research projects through its Research Fellowship Program, while the USGS side of the NW CASC directs research funding to a portfolio of regional projects each year.  More information about our research is available here.
