- The Center for Climatic Research (CCR) focuses on studies of present, future,
and past climates, the links between ecosystems and climate and between
civilizations and climate, and assessment of the impacts of climate variability
on water, food, and energy resources. The center develops and uses coupled
earth system models (atmosphere, ocean, land, biosphere) and observations to
address regional, continental, and global-scale problems that are linked to
important environmental, societal, and policy issues. The work of the center is
organized around three laboratories: earth-system modeling, paleoecology, and
archaeoclimatology.
