The Climate Impacts Group is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Washington composed of natural, physical and social scientists as well as communications and administrative professionals. We are a member organization of EarthLab and the host to two federal programs, the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center and the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative. Our goal is to build climate resilience in the Northwest by advancing understanding of climate risks and enabling science-based action to manage those risks. We work with decision makers to adapt to climate change through scientific understanding, data, tools, guidance and capacity. Our expertise includes climate science, hydrology, conservation biology, forest ecology and management, climate impact and vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning, policy, governance and community resilience. We use our expertise to help understand and address climate impacts and risk management across a range of sectors, including water, coasts and oceans, forests and fire, wildlife and ecosystems and people and society.
