Research
PCCRC research is pursued in a context of how global scale climate change translates into local and regional scale changes and impacts that affect societies. The connections to human priorities and policies are challenging yet critically important aspects of our work. Read more about our research by clicking on the links below.
Aims to observe and understand the exchange of carbon and coupled elements among Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land ecosystems (natural and managed).
Examines the processes that link the land surface and atmosphere as they relate to the water cycle to better understand and predict the effects of natural variability and human-induced change on the distribution of water throughout the Earth system.
Strives to evaluate the heterogeneous ecological, political, economic, and ethical impacts of climate change and climate change policies, and the ways in which those unevenly distributed impacts intersect and generate feedbacks in both human and natural systems at global and regional scales
Explores the possible responses of local- and regional-scale weather phenomena to enhanced global radiative forcing associated with elevated greenhouse gas concentrations.
