  • Study: Smoke particles from wildfires can erode the ozone layer
    MIT chemists show the Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020.
  • Improving health outcomes by targeting climate and air pollution simultaneously
    New modeling tool enables rapid design of effective and equitable policy combinations.
  • Tapping the land for climate solutions
    Workshop explores sustainable, equitable pathways to transform agriculture, forestry and other land uses into net carbon sinks
  • Will climate feedback loops push us past a “point of no return”?
    Tripping the Earth's climate feedback loops could bring us rapid warming that would be hugely damaging in the near term. But over the longer term, our planet can regulate even truly gigantic changes to the atmosphere.

MIT CGCS forms a better understanding of Earth’s climate while facilitating the prediction of climate change. We are an interdisciplinary bridge spanning the MIT School of Science & the MIT School of Engineering.
