- The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) has in
recent years increasingly aligned its research along scientific themes rather
than organizational structures to foster a more interdisciplinary approach. We
are addressing scientific questions of societal relevance and seeking to
present results in a meaningful context. These themes are designed to reflect
changing priorities and can adapt to a dynamic world as needs evolve. The six
themes include four scientific foci, the advanced tools that support them, and
the underlying activities and philosophy that integrate them.
Themes:
Climate System Variability
Geodynamics
Planetary Metabolism
Regional Processes
Advanced Modeling and Observing Systems
Integrating Activities
