change and its impacts. The goal is to broaden research interests

spectrum of NATURAL and SOCIAL SCIENCES, HUMANITIES, MATHEMATICS,
ENGINEERING and other disciplines related to climate change and its
impacts. The initiative includes a public webpage, electronic
newsletter, and annual symposia funded through 2008.
