How we got here.

Founded in 2012 by Marjorie McGuirk, a career meteorologist and pioneer in climate science and engagement, CASE Consultants International addresses the demand for comprehensive climate adaptation and sustainability solutions. Serving as a bridge between scientific research and real-world applications, CASE strategically assembled a diverse team of experts in meteorology, climatology, environmental science, policy, and related fields, helping shape discourse on climate change adaptation and mitigation at the national and international levels.

CASE leverages its scientific and technological expertise to translate scientific insights into actionable strategies across various sectors. Our client portfolio spans federal agencies (NOAA, NASA, USACE), state and local governments, non-profits (American Institute of Architects, Rocky Mountain Institute, National Wildlife Foundation), diverse industries (transportation, infrastructure, marine and coastal ecology, built environment, healthcare, retail, finance, and more), and international organizations (UNITAR, WMO, others).

Partnerships and engagement are central to CASE's mission. We collaborate closely with STEM educators, non-profits, educational institutions, and local communities to support multiple initiatives designed to ignite interest in science and science-driven careers. We work with public and private sector organizations to promote diversity and inclusion in scientific fields and empower groups at both national and local levels to use evidence-based data for building resilience and advancing environmental understanding and stewardship.

In their retirement, founder Marjorie McGuirk (female meteorologist trailblazer), along with Scott Shufford (extensive expertise in community planning and resilience) and Eileen Shea (former Deputy Director of NOAA’s Climate and Global Change Program, now at NCEI), continue as key advisors, playing pivotal roles in shaping CASE's ongoing work in climate science-to-operations activities.

In 2023 Marjorie retired, handing over the company to Liz Tarquin who still follows the vision and values that the community and colleagues admire so much. Today CASE Consultants International continues to advancing climate research, policy development, and international collaboration, and be a leader in climate adaptation and sustainability. The consultancy remains at the forefront of research, innovation, and strategic planning, helping clients navigate the complex landscape of climate-related challenges and opportunities.

CASE received numerous awards and accolades for its innovative solutions, commitment to data quality standards, and contributions to climate science. Our experts are well-respected figures in their fields, serving on boards, councils, and international committees.

CASE also received its first prime contract with the government (NOAA ProTech).
