One more post for #NativePlantMonth🍃: New research supported by the Northeast CASC identifies key plant traits for successfully relocating native plants while avoiding the spread of more invasive species. Read more ow.ly/4f0C50VHjIj Northeast CASC






Bringing together science and storytelling, check out this series, supported by the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, which uses illustration and storytelling to explore some of the impacts that Menominee people are experiencing as a result of climate change 👉ow.ly/M2wi50VM4nI





As temperatures rise on the Kenai peninsula in Alaska, freshwater quality is expected to change — affecting both salmon and humans. Check out this Alaska CASC supported study providing much needed water data for Alaska's communities: ow.ly/zMpg50VTSVX International Arctic Research Center


In the Pacific Islands, burned urban infrastructure from wildfires can introduce chemically complex contaminants to the environment & the ocean. See what Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center is doing to better understand these impacts and help mitigate: ow.ly/GZka50VTSYZ #WildfireAwarenessMonth





In a study co-led by a former Northeast CASC fellow, nearly 9 million wildlife camera observations showed most mammals don’t follow fixed daily schedules, but shift their activity patterns in response to human activities. Northeast CASC 👉 ow.ly/cCGz50VY08r



By linking historical employment data & future climate projections, researchers supported by the Southeast CASC assessed how rising temperatures & shifting rainfall patterns could reshape employment in the South’s profitable forestry industry. Southeast CASC ow.ly/uKiV50VY0er
