UW part of NW Climate Science Center

SEATTLE — The U.S. Department of the Interior recently awarded nearly $3.6 million to three Pacific Northwest universities that are part of the new Northwest Climate Science Center. The grant gives $1.4 million to the University of Washington, $1.2 million to Oregon State University and $980,000 to the University of Idaho over the next five years.

The centers are part of the department's first coordinated strategy to address climate change impacts on land, water, ocean, fish, wildlife and cultural resources. The money will fund graduate students to assist scientists in learning about climate change.

The consortium will be led by Lisa Graumlich, dean of the UW College of the Environment, Philip Mote, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at OSU, and Steven Daley-Laursen, senior executive, Office of Research and Economic Development at UI.

Graumlich said the center is part of the first wave of eight regional centers being created.
