About Us

Brown’s Environmental Change Initiative is a research initiative, linking faculty and students from departments and centers across the Brown campus. Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates use an interdisciplinary team approach to tackle significant problems in environmental change. Using the tools of ecology, geology, chemistry, systems biology, economics, sociology, and cultural history, researchers build a picture of the forces that molded and maintain a given system, allowing them to predict more accurately how related systems might respond to changing environmental stresses.
