Abstract
The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) is one of nine regional centers in a national network created to help natural and cultural resource managers prepare for changes due to a warming climate. The center is a unique partnership between the US Geological Survey, CU Boulder, and consortium partners that serve the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska. Through a combination of web (Science Bytes, Spotlight Stories, newsletters) and social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), we strive to share the science from our researchers in multiple capacities to generate the maximum reach and impact. This poster will highlight some of our science storytelling tools, including a new StoryMap called âEngaging With Traditional Ecological Knowledgeâ (TEK), the NC CASCâs âResearch Reelâ on our YouTube channel, our new MailChimp newsletter, and select Spotlight Stories. We quantify the metrics (clicks, likes, shares) and explore new possibilities for future communications products.
