The School of Natural Resources and Environment is constantly enhancing its reputation as a leader in research related to climate change impacts, mitigation and adaption through the work of its individual faculty members and collectively as a school.

The emergence of impacts, mitigation and adaption as key research themes came from faculty-wide discussions with input from nearly three SNRE dozen faculty.The three-pronged approach to climate research reflects the breadth of interests in the school. Further, this broader stance positions SNRE to make advances in many fields, whether scentific, policy, business and engineering, in dealing with threats from climate change.

Bridging the three themes are the major methods used by faculty to address climate-change issues (see diagram). The diagram provides a quick picture of the school's capabilities and interests.
