New NSF Report Guides Research Into Climate Change’s Effect on Human Security

A group of scientists recently delivered a major report to the National Science Foundation recommending research priorities to maximize understanding of climate change’s social impact in the U.S. and worldwide. The report, titled “Environmental Change and Human Security: Research Directions,” was presented this week at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in New Orleans.

Shannon O’Lear, professor of geography and director of the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Kansas, was one of 10 authors from diverse disciplines who produced the study as part of their work on the NSF’s Advisory Committee on Environmental Research and Education.
