Overview

The Center for Climate Sciences at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory serves to advance our understanding of Earth’s climate system, enhance our ability to predict its change, and enable and communicate the multi-disciplinary climate science research of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The Center works to foster a multi-disciplinary approach by bringing together JPL research activities in key areas of climate science, linking oceanic, cryospheric, water and energy cycles and the carbon cycle processes. The Center encourages these research activities to exploit a comprehensive array of Earth observations in order to assess how key climate processes are represented in predictive models.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is at the forefront of climate science research, both in the development of critical global observations required to meet these significant challenges and in the advancement of knowledge in our understanding of climate and climate change.
