Advance Global Change Science
Understanding global change—including climate change—is critical to the Nation’s welfare and economic vitality. Research, supported by an array of sophisticated tools for collecting and analyzing data, can provide essential knowledge to governments, businesses, and communities as they plan for and respond to the many manifestations of global change—such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and the more severe heat waves, droughts, and other extreme events that pose an ever-growing risk to life, property, agriculture, and natural resources.
