Dry Climate Sustainability Center
The mission of our center is to gain a better understanding of the ecological function and structure of the Mojave Desert at all scales, and how the function and structure might be impacted by global climate change.

Temperate Climate Sustainability Center
The center's overarching goals are to understand the causes and consequences of climate change, improve predictive models to project future climate conditions, and inform on-going state, national and international policy discussions on climate change, including mitigation and adaptation strategies.
