The Center is a coordinated research program by 47 Collaborators at 22 Institutions - 13 Institutions in the US, and 9 in seven other countries - interested in interactions of society and the environment.

Our name reflects our philosophy:

INTEGRATED STUDY
We apply social and natural science to solve global environmental problems.

HUMAN DIMENSIONS
We study how people understand the world and make decisions.

GLOBAL CHANGE
And then, we follow the patterns of those decisions and determine their global consequences.
