The NCCWSC and CSCs work with natural and cultural resource managers to gather the scientific information and build the tools needed to help fish, wildlife and ecosystems adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) is the managing entity for the Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs). Climate change is creating novel challenges for our nation’s resource managers, decision-makers, and communities. Together, NCCWSC and the CSCs provide resource managers and other stakeholders with information and decision-making tools to respond to the effects of climate change on fish, wildlife, ecosystems, and the communities they support. Through close collaboration with managers and scientists inside and outside of government, NCCWSC and the CSCs deliver science to address stakeholder-defined priority climate needs.
