National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC)
The National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) is a part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Climate and Land Use Change Mission Area (CLU) and acts as the managing entity for the eight Department of the Interior (DOI) Climate Science Centers (CSCs).
The NCCWSC and CSCs partner closely with natural and cultural resource managers and scientists from inside and outside of government to gather the information and build the tools needed to help fish and wildlife and their habitats and ecosystems adapt to the impacts of climate change. The NCCWSC and CSCs prioritize the delivery of science, research data products, and decision-support tools that are usable and focused on key priorities -- as defined by managers -- and are delivered to users effectively.
