Southeast Climate Science Center Research Ecologist, Adam Terando, was a contributing author to the Southeast Technical Report, Climate of the Southeast United States: Variability, Change, Impacts, and Vulnerability, an input to the National Climate Assessment.
From the report: “It is important that these findings and response options be shared broadly to inform citizens and communities across our nation.

This report advances our understanding of that challenge and the need for the American people to prepare for and respond to its far-reaching implications.”
