UMass Climate Center loses federal funding, faces potential closure

AMHERST — The Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is facing potential closure next month because of extensive federal funding cuts.

The center is part of a consortium of nine Climate Adaptation Science Centers in the country and is managed by the U.S. Geological Survey. These centers bridge the gap between science and communities in the face of climate change, providing research, education, and strategic adaptation plans for local communities grappling with coastal flooding, invasive plants, and forestry management.
