USGS\u00a0Office\/Lab and Location:\u00a0<\/strong>A research opportunity is\u00a0available with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), located in Anchorage, Alaska or may be remote.<\/p>\n

The USGS mission is to monitor, analyze, and predict current and evolving dynamics of complex human and natural Earth-system interactions and to deliver actionable intelligence at scales and timeframes relevant to decision makers. As the Nation’s largest water, earth, and biological science and civilian mapping agency, USGS collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides science about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems.<\/p>\n

The mission of the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center (AK CASC) is to use science to help people, land, water, wildlife, and fish adapt to climate change.\u00a0Established in 2010, the Alaska CASC provides scientific information, tools, and techniques to resource managers and communities in Alaska.\u00a0Hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center with a USGS-hosted office in Anchorage, the Alaska CASC works with natural and cultural resource managers, policy makers, Alaska Native Tribes, and researchers across the state to produce actionable, user-informed science. They prioritize making climate models Alaska-relevant and informing communities through research.<\/p>\n

Research Project<\/strong>:\u00a0The selected participant will use existing high-resolution climate data and\/or projections to develop forest and fire impacts models and actionable scenarios; develop summary products for resources identified by resource management partners; and communicate results in practitioner and scientific forums. Collaborative, use-inspired research is a core component of the AK CASC, and this participant will leverage existing partnerships and established needs for climate impacts information on climate and related resource changes. Results of this research will fill important gaps in understanding of climate-driven disturbance in boreal and other regions of Alaska.<\/p>\n

The objective is to help the AKCASC increase its capacity to provide actionable climate impacts\u00a0information to collaborators and refine that information to meet agency management needs. Through this fellowship, the participant will have the opportunity to learn about leadership through\u00a0research on regional climate impacts pathways in Alaska, engage with federal and non-federal decision makers and researchers, and gain valuable experience being a part of a partnership-driven program within a federal science agency.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives:<\/strong>\u00a0Specific learning activities include, but are not limited to:\u00a0<\/p>\n
