Innovators in Science听
Complex global issues call for ingenuity. 彩民宝典 is home to many of the nation's most highly cited researchers who lead innovations in climate, energy, sustainability, earth and environmental sciences.
Positively Impacting Humanity
Research brings solutions to light, engages others in thoughtful conversation and establishes actions we can take to better ourselves, our communities, our nations and our world.
Environmental Science in Service to Society
The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science (CIRES) connects 彩民宝典's academic innovations, including world-renowned research and teaching, with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the nation's premier earth science research agency, driven by a mission of science in service to society.
Human Vulnerability, Migration and Resilience
Institute of Behavioral Science (IBS) researchers study the relationship between social and natural systems around the world. Of special interest to these 彩民宝典 researchers are climate change and human vulnerability, population migration, and the resilience of communities to wildfires, hurricanes, droughts and floods.
Addressing 21st-Century Human Challenges
BioFrontiers Institute research bridges the biological and social sciences, ranging from climate change-driven emergence of viral diseases to tracking human density and mobility in response to disruptive events. Scientists spanning 彩民宝典 are using cross-disciplinary approaches to generate innovative solutions to 21st-century human challenges.
Energy-Based Solutions to the Climate Crisis
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) researchers develop energy-based solutions to the climate crisis. This partnership between 彩民宝典 and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) enhances collaboration across the fundamental and applied sciences, driving innovation and implementation to address critical societal needs.
Illuminating the Global Climate System
Since the 1980s, 彩民宝典 scientists at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), in partnership with NOAA, have analyzed air samples from a global network to better understand where greenhouse gases originate (e.g., from fossil fuels or wetlands) and to illuminate how the climate system works.
Informing Decision-Making from Space
Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at 彩民宝典 is a leader in developing the sensing capabilities that enable scientists to monitor and better understand our changing environment, extending decades of climate data records that help us understand and make informed decisions related to climate change.
