USGS scientists search the Earth to understand #climatechange on the ground.

From gathering satellite imagery to extracting polar and glacial ice cores, USGS scientists collect information to show how climate change affects landscapes, waterways, and wildlife around the globe.

Caves provide habitats for many important species--like bats! 🦇

The Southeast CASC is working to understand how surface climate change affects remote cave climates & the species that rely on them.
