US map broken into counties showing locations of floodplains and how many counties are locating in or around floodplains. Around 220 counties are inside floodplains, around 600 about 0-250m from floodplains, around 550 about 250-500m from floodplains, and the rest are 500m to less than 2km away. - SE CASC Releases 2017-2024 Center Report - Geospatial Analytics at NC State University

The Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC) announced the release of its 2017–2024 Center Report, a comprehensive look back at seven years of science, coproduction, and partnership to support climate adaptation across the Southeast and Caribbean.

This report tells the story of a dynamic period of growth and innovation at SE CASC. Working with partners across federal, Tribal, state, academic, and non-governmental organizations, SE CASC advanced actionable science to help the waters, lands, fishes, wildlife, and people of the Southeast adapt to a changing climate.

Center for Geospatial Analytics researchers have led multiple research projects with SE CASC since 2017, including Improving Scenarios of Future Patterns of Urbanization, Climate Adaptation, and Landscape Change in the Southeast and The Long View: Developing a 500-year Climate Adaptation Plan with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and have produced more than 20 journal articles and reports.

During this same period, 11 CGA students – including 10 Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. students and 1 MGIST student – participated in the Global Change Research Fellows program.

We look forward to continuing to partner with SE CASC and advance climate science in the years to come.
