The CASC’s Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program brings together postdoctoral researchers from across the country to conduct independent and collaborative applied research on climate change impacts to fish, wildlife, and ecosystems. Each CAP cohort focuses on a different research theme, with a postdoctoral researcher hosted by every CASC region to investigate local needs and priorities. Together, the cohorts produce a national synthesis product that explores wide-scale implications of the theme.
Join us on November 23 for an inside look at the CAP Fellows Program. Gabriel Filippelli (Indiana University) will host the discussion, Madeleine Rubenstein (National CASC) will share the development of the program, and Amy Waananen (University of Minnesota) and Yog Aryal (Indiana University), CAP Fellows based in the Midwest, will present their research.
