Since the USGCRP began, scientific understanding of global change has increased and the information needs of the nation have changed dramatically. A better understanding of what is changing and why can help decision makers in the public and private sectors cope with ongoing change. Accomplishments of the U.S. Global Change Research Program highlights the growth of global change science in the quarter century that the USGCRP has been in existence, and documents some of its contributions to that growth through its primary functions of interagency planning and coordination, and of synthesis of research and practice to inform decision making"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (National Academies Press, viewed Jan. 5, 2017) Subject U.S. Global Change Research Program (2009- ) SUBJECT U.S. Global Change Research Program (2009- ) fast Subject Climatic changes -- Research -- United States Global environmental change -- Research -- United States BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Infrastructure.
