Many
of the ideas that now define how we think about climate
first originated at the UW. Over the last 20 years,
UW scientists have developed some of science's most
fundamental theories about earth's climate, biochemical
processes and environmental impacts. These discoveries
have opened up some of today's most exciting and promising
research areas - new directions where UW scientists
are again taking the lead.
Explore the following for examples
of our work.

Polar
Science Center - Even in the darkness and numbing
cold of the long Arctic winters, an international
research team led by the UW is collecting environmental
data and monitoring how the Arctic Ocean helps regulate
the global climate. |

Climate
Impacts Group - From the frigid
waters of British Columbia to the remote headlands
of the Columbia River, students and scientists are
assessing and projecting the impacts of climate
variability and change in the Pacific Northwest.

Program
on Climate Change - The UW is preparing future
leaders to address climate challenges by integrating
its unique strengths in oceanography, atmospheric
sciences and earth and space sciences. |

Quaternary
Research Center - UW scientists and students
study the processes responsible for environmental
change to better understand how the Earth sustains
humanity and other communities and to better prepare
for future environmental changes. |
