Overview Research carried out by staff and students at the Environmental Studies Laboratory and their forerunners at the University of Colorado and Columbia University has centered around two broad themes. The oldest concentrates on paleoenvironmental science (pardon the pun!) and its application toward understanding the full range of environmental variability with a focus on climate and ecology. More recently, the laboratory has worked on improving connections between environmental sciences and society, with the specific goal of increasing the scientific basis of environmental decision making. Both themes involve a conscious effort to work across broad temporal scales and over spatial scales that extend from local to global. By working on projects in many key systems around the world, the hope is to craft a better understanding of the global system.
