Mission Statement
Complex Systems Research Center is dedicated to understanding the Earth as an integrative system. Our mission is to explore the physical, chemical and biological processes that shape the Earth's environment, with emphasis on the unique role of humans as an agent of change. Through a combination of field studies, space-based observations, data integration, and modeling, the Center pursues interdisciplinary studies of global environmental change from both scientific and policy perspectives. We strive to serve the public interest by providing a scientific basis for informed decision-making at local, state, national and global levels. The Center also serves as a platform for educating the next generation of Earth System scientists and environmental managers. The Center is built on strong collaborations that are national and international in scope.
