The drivers and effects of climate change are interconnected, crossing physical, ecological, economic, political and ethical boundaries. Advancing solutions and deeper understanding of climate variability requires similar connectivity, as well as collaboration among scholars across Woods’ centers and programs. We support interdisciplinary research assessing the impact of climate disruption on people and planet, focusing solutions and mitigation efforts on water supplies, agricultural production, biodiversity, ecosystem health, built infrastructure and economies at the local, regional and national levels. Stanford researchers are working across disciplines and sectors to assess climate risks, reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate and adapt to the effects of global warming. See a selection of highlights from our community’s cross-cutting climate research below.
