Climate Change Science, Impacts and Responses
The University of Maryland is a national leader in research to understand global climate change (commonly called global warming), its impacts and the scientific, technological, economic and public policy challenges it poses for humanity.
Over the past decade, the university has built on its long tradition of excellence in atmospheric, climate, biological, and earth science to develop major new partnerships with federal agencies in the areas of earth science, remote imaging, climate change and energy research. Among the most central of these partnerships are the university's Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (joint with NASA), Joint Global Change Research Institute< (joint with the Department of Energy), Cooperative Institute for Climate Studies (joint with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA) and Center for Integrative Environmental Research.
University of Maryland experts involved in Climate Change related research and policy analysis are available to offer perspectives, insight and information.
