The mission of the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (MW CASC) is to deliver science to help fish, wildlife, water, land and people in the Midwest adapt to a changing climate. In our third year of operation (from Oct. 2023 - Sept. 2024), we continued our efforts to accomplish this mission through objectives in science production, partnerships, capacity building, and communications.
We also welcomed several new faces to the MW CASC team, including T. Kevin O’Donnell, assistant regional administrator; Taylor Siddons, ORISE fellow; and Wes Bickford, visiting scientist. We also welcomed Jennifer Gauthier, director of the Sustainable Development Institute at the College of Menominee Nation, as a new member of our Consortium Leadership Team.
Thank you to our staff, students, researchers, partners, and others who helped make our third year a success!
