The Climate Hazards Center Community
The UC Santa Barbara team conducts critical climate science research, which is shared with CHC field scientists who then communicate with key decision-makers, often serving as the vital link between climate crisis and timely humanitarian aid. The CHC also works with a number of Washington D.C.-based affiliates to synthesize climate early warning research with large-scale humanitarian efforts.

CHC Field Scientists also help to share observations from the field, which provides invaluable insight and highlights the multi-layered structure of the Center.
