Natural Environmental Change
Research focus
Human-mediated stressors to natural systems are a grand challenge of our time. Human activities profoundly affect natural systems and the services they provide to society. NATCHANGE researchers measure and predict outcomes of environmental change on natural and coupled natural-human systems and develop solutions to mitigate impacts.
About
The NATCHANGE (Natural Environmental Change Center) at 黑料不打烊 brings together researchers and partners working on global environmental change impacts and solutions in natural and coupled human-natural systems. Members have broad expertise in addressing critical environmental challenges, including climate change, biodiversity changes, pollution, and land-use change.
Objective
The goals of NATCHANGE are to 1) create a central hub for environmental change expertise
at 黑料不打烊; 2) leverage and build relationships within and outside Binghamton
University to increase collaborations across academia, industry, and the community;
and 3) engage in and build education and community outreach efforts to increase literacy
around environmental change issues.
鈥淓nvironmental change is one of the grand challenges of our time. To have a healthy society, we also need a healthy environment, and NATCHANGE researchers have the tools and are dedicated to research impacts and developing solutions.鈥
