WSU researchers have been studying the air we breathe for 50 years. In 2007 the Environmental Protection Agency funded WSU's Laboratory for Atmospheric Research as part of an $8 million collaborative effort - along with universities such as Stanford, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon - to better understand and combat global warming.
WSU Extension, with the support of WSU faculty and students, research stations, and partners - has a broad array of scientific and technical expertise to support programming on climate change. Programs include the Extension Energy Program, Beach Watchers/Watershed Masters, Master Gardeners, Master Compost/Recyclers, Climate Friendly Farming, Forest Stewardship, Family Living, 4-H youth development and the Climate Change Distance Degree Program being done in conjunction with the National Wildlife Federation. These programs engage the public in their homes, churches, schools, businesses and recreating spaces. Partnerships in education and research include the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group, county governments, state agencies, federal government and private industry.
