Research Institutes
Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences
The Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences advances research, education, and engagement that (1) progresses and expands the scientific understanding of the past, present, and future of the Earth system and (2) builds the knowledge and perspective needed for state, national, and global stewardship of a healthy, sustainable, and resilient planetary environment.
Rutgers Climate Institute
The universitywide Rutgers Climate Institute aims to understand the mechanisms that drive global and regional climate change; understand the human and social dimensions of climate change, shape vulnerabilities, and condition response strategies; study the impacts of climate change, particularly its effects on densely populated, coastal regions; and inform and educate society about the causes and consequences of climate change.
