The Department of the Interior (DOI) Climate Science Centers (CSCs) are Federal-university collaborations established to provide natural and cultural resource managers with the tools and information they need to develop and execute management strategies that address the impacts of climate change on a broad range of natural and cultural resources. Established by the U.S. Geological Survey, CSCs are located on university campuses and are often comprised of multi-institution consortia, some of which include non-university partners, such as Indian tribes and federal research labs. Find below a map and list of host and consortium members for each CSC. Many of the CSC University Consortia develop and maintain websites, in addition to the federal CSC websites, to highlight CSC news, events, projects, and related information. Links to these websites are also provided below.
