Meeting the needs of a growing population is an essential challenge of the 21st century
Human activities and resource use are altering Earth’s climate, through emissions of greenhouse gases and particulates, and through alteration of the land surface. Climate change, in turn, is affecting other Earth processes. Stanford Earth faculty work across disciplines—and at the interface of atmosphere, ocean, land, and ice systems—to characterize climate changes as well as potential responses and outcomes that matter to people.
Finding Climate Solutions
At Stanford, we focus on understanding and communicating climate change risks, as well as how to limit and adapt to those changes.
