Pinto abalone was once plentiful in Washington’s waters but has declined by a shocking 97% since the early 1990s. What is causing this massive decline in population? A new Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center-supported study, led by former NW CASC Research Fellow Eileen Bates and other researchers from University of Washington, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, and Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife explores how climate warming and ocean acidification are threatening hatchery-raise...| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
The application deadline to attend the 2025 Tribal Climate Camp (TCC) has been extended to Aug. 3! This 5-day, intensive workshop focused on climate resilience and climate actions will be hosted by the White Earth Nation in Waubun, Minnesota, September 21-26, and is designed for Tribal delegations, preferably comprised of 3 to 5 persons from Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations.| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
The National Climate Adaptation Science Center is hosting a quarterly webinar series on the RAD (Resist-Accept-Direct) framework, a tool that helps resource managers make informed choices for responding to change. The series kicks off next week with the first webinar, RAD Perspectives, on July 24, 2025 at 12 pm PT.| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center

The Pacific Northwest Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) — a collaborative federal, Tribal, state, and local interagency effort to improve early warning capacity and resilience to drought in the region — will host an upcoming webinar on June 23 at 11:00 a.m. PT to provide the region’s stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing drought conditions.| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
A Drought Status Update was recently issued to communicate potential areas of concern for drought expansion or development across Tribal lands within the Pacific Northwest Drought Early Warning System Region, on the basis of recent conditions and forecasts. This update was developed in partnership by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, Oregon Climate Service, Oregon Climate Chan...| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
Invasive species are an ongoing focus of the NW CASC’s efforts to fund and facilitate actionable science, which have included research on more than 24 invasive species since 2011 across Northwestern habitats ranging from Puget Sound prairies to sagebrush steppe, from coastal wetlands to high elevation forests. In 2024 alone, NW CASC invested over $650,000 in research on invasive species, and the CASC program nationwide invested over $4 million.| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center is now accepting applications for our 2026 Faculty Fellowship Program, which supports research related to climate adaptation in Northwest natural and cultural resource management as well as training in the principles and practices of co-producing decision-relevant science. This is a “last-mile” program that funds activities aimed at enhancing the usability of existing research for natural resource managers.| Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center
