Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN)
An inter-governmental network for the promotion of global environmental change research and links between science and policy making in the Asia-Pacific Region. (infos)Climate System Research Center, University of Massachusetts
Research is focused on the climate system, climate variability and global change issues, from contemporary climate variations, their causes and consequences, to paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes. Includes news of recent research. (infos)
Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford
Oxford University's centre for the study of environmental change: causes, impacts and remediation. (infos)
NASA: Goddard Institute for Space Studies
Includes a spotlight on global warming, and information on their research into the climate and climate modelling. (infos)
NASA Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder
Microwave radar scatterometers measure wind over the ocean from space. Their data is usefule for monitoring climate conditions. This site provides access to climate record data from the Seasat, NSCAT, ERS-1/2 and SeaWinds scatterometers in image form to support climate change studies. (infos)
UK Climatic Research Unit
Widely recognised as one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change. Site provides a introductory-level information sheets, extensive downloadable data sets, information on research projects and programmes, and information on academic programmes, climate conferences, and climate links. (infos)
US Global Hydrology and Climate Center
A joint venture between government (NASA) and academia to study the global water cycle and its effect on weather and climate. (infos)
Northern Climate ExChange
Yukon-based exchange point for climate change study in the circumpolar north. Topics include climate predictions, impacts, and energy efficiency. (infos)
U.S. Global Change Data and Information System (GCDIS)
A collection of distributed information systems operated by government agencies involved in global change research. Includes multidisciplinary data from atmospheric science, ecology, oceanography, economics and sociology. (infos)
US NOAA Office of Global Programs
Leads the U.S. NOAA Climate and Global Change (C&GC) Program. OGP assists NOAA by sponsoring focused scientific research aimed at understanding climate variability and it predictability. (infos)
