CLIMATE AND LIFE

“Observatory scientists are leading efforts to understand the roles of the ocean, land, atmosphere and biosphere in the behavior of the modern climate system and its variability on timescales from years to decades and longer. The Climate and Life initiative will bring that expertise, unmatched at any single institution in its breadth across the earth sciences, to address many of the most pressing issues now facing humanity.� Sean Solomon, Director of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory The Earth Institute, Columbia University
