Sagarin funded to focus on climate change impacts to DOD installations
The climate change awardees are Rafe Sagarin, an assistant research scientist at the Institute of the Environment, and Christopher Castro, an assistant professor of atmospheric sciences. They captured two of the four grants awarded nationally for climate change impacts under DOD's Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program.
"This puts us at the ground floor of DOD's efforts to do something about climate change now," Sagarin said. "DOD recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to its readiness capabilities, but it has a complex mission, and it wants to understand how it will differentially affect all the various things it does."
