SUMMARY:South Central CASC Ideation Session
DESCRIPTION:Greetings! The South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center is hosting an ideation session to connect researchers across our various consortium institutions. \nThis ideation session is designed to present information on the upcoming South Central CASC funding opportunity\, provide a forum for researchers interested in conducting work on climate adaptation to connect with others from different departments across the consortium\, and to facilitate the creation of multi-disciplinary teams to catalyze innovative projects. \nThis event is open to all researchers at the South Central CASC host and consortium institutions (Texas Tech\, Louisiana State University\, University of Oklahoma\, University of New Mexico\, Oklahoma State University\, Chickasaw Nation\, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma). \nThere will be two ideation sessions\, both occurring on Zoom: \nMonday\, April 3rd from 3pm – 5 pm.  \nTuesday\, April 4th from 10 am – 12 pm.  \n**Each session will be capped at 40 participants**. \nBreakout sessions will be focused on the intersection of climate change and the following topics: coastal resources\, agroecosystems\, cultural resources\, natural resources\, and freshwater ecosystems. \nWithin 48 hours after registration\, you will receive more information about this event and a calendar invite. \nIf you have any questions or concerns\, please contact Marina Tomer (mcucuzza@usgs.gov) or Rachel Koch (rachel.a.koch-1@ou.edu).

SUMMARY:Wildland Fire: The Future of Fire Under a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:The Southern Plains Climate Science Webinar Series Presents: Wildland Fire: The Future of Fire Under a Changing Climate \nIs prescribed burning an interest to you? \n\n\nPrescribed fire provides a valuable option for land managers to conduct cost-effective habitat management\, invasive species control\, and restoration. Fire practitioners\, either acting individually or with a network\, have a huge impact on the results of an operation. Understanding how the arrangement and placements of individual actors influence the results may be helpful for networks that seek to improve the performance of prescribed fire operations. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us on March 30\, 2023\, at 11:00 AM CT\, to hear from Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Aaron Russell about the interesting results of this comparative analysis of prescribed fire practitioner networks in Oklahoma and North Carolina. \n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://oklahoma.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUudOusrzguEtdTriLAGOsicedNi65cbHOV

SUMMARY:Monarch Day
DESCRIPTION:The South Central CASC will be attending Monarch Day at the Chickasaw Cultural Center on Saturday\, September 10th. \nWe will be hosting a booth on The Stories of Penology as a part of the Time to Restore project. \n\nThere will be a matching game for the kids to match the names of the phenophase to its corresponding image for both Monarch Butterflies and Milkweed plants.\nThere will be a nature’s notebook sheet to allow everyone to collect data while investigating plants and determining their phenophase.\nYou can craft butterflies using coffee filters and pipe cleaners.\nAnd of course\, there will be handouts related to all of the above available.\n\nYou can also become a citizen scientist by helping to track flowering and seed timings of plants through Nectar Connectors\, a campaign of Nature’s Notebook\, the USA National Phenology Network’s plant and animal data collection program.

SUMMARY:CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION TRAINING FOR GRASSLANDS CONSERVATION PRACTITIONERS
DESCRIPTION:To learn more about the Grasslands Training events\, and to see past event recordings\, please see this page. \nNorth American grasslands are a regional priority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The South Central CASC\, in partnership with the US FWS Science Applications Program\, the Northwest CASC\, and the North Central CASC\, will be implementing a training series for grasslands conservation practitioners starting in May 2022. Through our training series\, we will introduce practitioners to the science of climate change\, explore the impacts\, and discuss adaptation options available. \nTo this end\, we have created several pieces of training to facilitate grasslands conservation practitioners’ knowledge both online and in-person. \n\nMay 16-27\, 2022 – Introduction to the Basics of Climate Change. Designed for grasslands managers (online course). There will be a live group activity on May 27th at 2:30 pm central. \nJune 13\, 2022 (11:00 am central) – Overview of Climate Change Impacts to Grasslands Ecology (Webinar) \nJuly 20th at 2pm Central Time / 1pm Mountain Time / 12pm Pacific Time – Understanding and Using Future Projections for Landcover Changes (Webinar) Register Here \nCentral North American grassland ecosystems are projected to experience transitions at fine and coarse scales resulting from climate change and human land uses. Following the first two sessions of this series (climate change fundamentals\, grassland climate projections\, and phenology)\, this session will focus on landcover/vegetation responses to future climates. Themes include drought impacts\, changes in water availability\, and woody plant encroachment. Three summary presentations by climate scientists will be followed by grassland manager dialogs (via breakout rooms) that build knowledge among grassland conservation practitioners. Participants will be rewarded with information on cutting-edge grassland-climate science and the opportunity to engage peers in solution-finding. \n\nAugust 31st at 1pm Central Time / 12pm Mountain Time / 11am Pacific Time – Understanding and Using Future Projections for Trust Species (Webinar) Register Here \nFor the past half-century\, grassland birds have been declining faster than any other group of birds. Habitat loss and degradation are driving many of these declines\, but the emerging threat of climate change and associated increases in extreme events pose even more challenges. Using grassland birds as a case study\, we will discuss new research on how climate change impacts grassland birds\, from range shifts to demographic consequences. We will also explore ongoing efforts to identify how climate adaptation strategies can increase the resilience of grassland birds to future climate change. \nFall 2022 – In-person Climate Adaptation Workshop (Invitation only) \n\nPlease check back for further information and registration details.

SUMMARY:SCIPP Climate Adaptation Summer Academy
DESCRIPTION:SCIPP Climate Adaptation Summer Academy\n\nDate: June 06\, 2022 – June 10\, 2022\nLocation:\nThe University of Oklahoma – Norman Campus\nDescription of Event:\nThe Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program invites undergraduate students from Oklahoma\, Texas\, Arkansas\, and Louisiana to participate in a 5-day\, all-expenses-paid program designed to introduce students to the topic of climate adaptation. Climate Adaptation is the process of identifying both present and future climate effects and determining how communities can adjust to the impacts of present and future climate conditions. There is a growing demand for professionals who have the skills to work in the climate adaptation arena\, especially in the South-Central U.S.\, which is one of the most disaster-prone regions of the country. The academy will connect students with professionals in fields such as meteorology\, climate science\, geography\, and environmental sustainability\, and public administration. \nThroughout the Summer Academy\, students will hear from a variety of speakers on topics including but not limited to: climate-related hazards in the South-Central U.S.; social factors and equity in climate adaptation\, climate policy\, administrative authorities and their responsibilities\, and planning and development skills. Additionally\, students will learn about disciplines involved in climate adaptation and have the opportunity to engage with professionals who can help provide direction for those interested in pursuing a career in climate adaptation or a related field. Activities related to each topic will be incorporated throughout the academy\, and one day may include a field trip where students learn local planning practitioners’ perspectives on climate adaptation approaches in the region.\n\n  \nFor more information and registration details click here.
