The U.S. Geological Survey's Climate Science Champions video series shares stories of USGS scientists working to address climate change. Its third season, which is focused on climate adaptation, features two Midwest Climate Adaptation Center staff members. 

Owen McKenna is a Research Ecologist with the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center and a Visiting Scientist with the MW CASC. In his video, he talks about his work to investigate how climate and land use change are impacting the Prairie-Pothole region, a critical habitat for ducks and other migratory waterfowl. 

Holly Embke is a Research Fish Biologist with the MW CASC. In her video, she talks about her work to investigate how climate change is impacting inland fish populations and how managers can support healthy fisheries for subsistence and recreational needs.
