The mission of the NC CASC  (https://nccasc.colorado.edu<https://nccasc.colorado.edu/>) is to work with natural and cultural resource managers to identify, gather, and apply the information they need to understand and adapt to a changing climate. The NC CASC is a partnership between the US Geological Survey, the University of Colorado Boulder, and five consortium partners. The NC CASC fosters co-production of actionable science, where partner input is incorporated throughout the research process to better ensure that the science developed informs key management decisions. Further, the NC CASC is committed to open science, making data, code, and tools open and reproducible, to better enable a broad community of participants in the scientific process. The North Central center is one of eight regional climate centers in the national CASC network (https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/climate-adaptation-science-centers)  built to help meet the changing needs of land and resource managers across the country. The NC CASC serves primarily Department of Interior agencies, state fish and wildlife agencies, and Tribal partners across a 7-state region, including Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska. The Program Manager will be located with the NC CASC, on the University of Colorado-Boulder’s east campus.
