The Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI) is one of the nation’s leading institutes in earth and environmental sciences research. Its diverse and world-renowned faculty members are engaged in interdisciplinary, innovative and collaborative research on some of the most compelling problems and issues of our time. EESI is part of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment.
The Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI) is the portal to environmental research, education, and outreach programs offered by the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and is one of the leading earth and environmental sciences research institutes in the U.S. EESI is affiliated with the Penn State Institutes of the Energy and the Environment (PSIEE), the central coordinating structure for energy and environmental research, education, and outreach at Penn State.

It is maintained by the Center for Environmental Informatics (CEI) , a part of the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS) at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) .
The database was developed intially to support the PSU/EMS Earth System Science Center's interdisciplinary NASA/EOS investigation into "The Global Water Cycle: Extension Across the Earth Sciences". It has subsequently been extended to support other projects.
The data sets contained herein represent both data generated by ESSC investigators, and other data needed to support their investigations, obtained from sources such as the NASA DAACs, USGS hydrology and land surface characteristics databases, and the USDA Soil Conservation Service.

The group is under the direction of Lawrence A. Mysak, who is also a member of the Global and Environmental Climate Change Centre, the successor of the Centre for Climate and Global Change Research.
The main goal of the research in the ESMG is to develop and apply reduced complexity models of the Earth system to better understand decadal and longer term climate variability and change. Analysis of climate data and data-model intercomparison studies are also important activities of the ESMG. For further information, see Research.

The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS), based in Fairbanks, Alaska, was formed in 1988 as a nonprofit member consortium of educational and scientific institutions that have a substantial commitment to arctic research. ARCUS facilitates discussion of important arctic research initiatives, produces science reports with research community recommendations for arctic science priorities, and distributes information resources to the arctic research community. ARCUS activities are funded through member dues and contracts and grants with federal and private entities.

Founded within the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences in 1986, the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) maintains a mission to describe, model, and understand the Earth's climate system. ESSC is one of seven centers supported by the Earth & Environmental Systems Institute.
The climate can be viewed as a complex interacting set of components including the oceans, atmosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. Within the ESSC, we are engaged in studies that aim to understand both these individual components, and the interactions between them.

RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary. The discussion here is restricted to scientific topics and will not get involved in any political or economic implications of the science. All posts are signed by the author(s), except ‘group’ posts which are collective efforts from the whole team. This is a moderated forum.

WCRP improves climate predictions and our understanding of human influence on climate through observations & modelling of the Earth system and the policy-relevant assessment of climate conditions
Significant progress in understanding and projecting climate change has been made over the last decade. However, large uncertainties remain, particularly in the determination of the rate of climate change, the impacts on regional scales where society and environment are most vulnerable and the occurrence of extremes. Reduction of these uncertainties requires filling significant gaps in observational programmes and understanding, and improved models for projection of climate change, both globally and regionally. This information is critical to enable individual nations to plan for and adapt effectively to climate and global change.

There’s just something about Egypt that makes it one of the most interesting study abroad locations on Earth. Maybe it’s the ancient atmosphere, or maybe it’s the long list of natural wonders students get to see during their visit. Maybe it’s everything!
