Programs
CIRES programs bridge scientific disciplines, institutions, and geographies, enabling rapid scientific response to emerging challenges, and fostering collaboration
Earth Lab
Harnessing the data revolution through research, analytics, and education to accelerate understanding of global environmental change to help society better manage and adapt.
Addressing societal vulnerabilities to climate variability and climate change, particularly those related to water resources, and producing policy-relevant information about climate variability and change.
The CIRES/NCEI geomagnetism team conducts basic and applied research in the field of Earth magnetism. We develop data-based models and calculators of the various magnetic fields originating within the Earth and in the near-Earth space environment.
We build high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of coastal regions throughout the United States and its territories integrating topographic and bathymetric elevation data.
