The Institute’s internationally recognized researchers are making scientific contributions that are vitally relevant to society. These contributions include:

Earth’s climate is controlled by multiple factors and these factors can change in relative importance over time.


Dramatic natural changes in climate have seriously affected humans and ecosystems and have occurred in less than a human lifetime.


Dramatic change in the chemistry of the atmosphere has occurred over the last century due to human activity.
