The Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC) was established by the Department of the Interior (DOI) on October 7, 2011 to address the challenges presented by climate change and variability for federal, state, nongovernmental, community, indigenous Pacific Islanders, and resource managers. PI-CASC spans the Pacific Basin from the Hawaiian Island archipelago to the US-affiliated islands of the South Pacific, including American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. PI-CASC is one of nine regional centers across the United States and is hosted by a university consortium, led by the University of Hawai?i at Mānoa, in cooperation with the University of Hawai?i at Hilo and the University of Guam, bringing the expertise of this university consortium to work with our federal partners from the USGS.

We are proud to announce that our regional administrator, Mari-Vaughn Johnson, and lead for the University of Guam, Romina King, were recently tapped to serve as the federal coordinating lead and chapter lead author, respectively, for the Sixth National Climate Assessment (#NCA6). In these roles, they will guide and facilitate a team of authors in compiling and synthesizing climate data in Hawai?i and the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands region.

The work of PI-CASC supported researchers Karen Thorne and Dean Gesch was chosen by the State Department for inclusion in a pamphlet that will be part of UN Climate Week discussions. The pamphlet highlights areas most vulnerable to sea level rise and how to prepare. Thorne and Gesch conducted research in the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands to develop models to better understand sea level rise vulnerabilities and to simulate future coastal inundation scenarios. https://lnkd.in/gVC-Ak6y??

Growing up in Maui, Konapiliahi Dancil spent much of his youth outdoors with his father and grandfather, learning about forests, birds, and hunting. These experiences helped form a connection to nature, which has been the driving force in his journey to learn about the ecosystems in Hawai?i and how to protect them. Now a second-year master’s student at the University of Hawai?i at Hilo, Dancil’s research was inspired by his upbringing. “What to Plant Where? Using Species Distribution Modeling to Select Restoration Species in Hawai‘i’s Lowland Wet Forests” involves working on forest restoration with land managers and working groups on Hawai?i Island and aims to identify which climate-resilient species thrive in Hawaiian lowland wet forests, ultimately helping managers make better decisions about which species to use for out-planting efforts in restoration.
