The inherent complexity involved in addressing climate change and other emerging environmental issues requires a multidisciplinary approach. Building on the strong foundation of climate and environmental scholars within CPRC, which brings together researchers from atmospheric science, engineering, public health, social work, economics, and beyond, this primary research area engages scholars across campus to foster greater interdisciplinary connections to address critical climate issues.
