The Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) at MIT was established to address long-standing scientific problems regarding changes in the global environment. The initial objectives of this research are focused on five fundamental processes in the global climate machine: 1) convection, atmospheric water vapor and cloud formation, 2) oceans and ocean-atmosphere coupling, 3) land surface hydrology, 4) biogeochemistry of the greenhouse gases and reflective aerosols, and 5) upper atmospheric chemistry and circulation. This website includes detailed descriptions of each fundamental process and includes focus areas, education, and outreach topics covered under these research areas. Additionally, lists of research reports are included and there are listings of jobs and educational opportunities with CGCS.
