Thanks to a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation and NASA, the international office of the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project, a core initiative of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), will make its home for the next five years on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Dr. Rob DeConto, professor of geosciences and director of the School of Earth and Sustainability, and Dr. Raymond Bradley, Distinguished Professor of Geosciences, will lead the project.
