Climatology and climate modeling Develop an understanding of the variations in forcing of climate, including the energy exchanges in the Sun- Earth system and to forecast oncoming changes in climate. Translation & Knowledge Transfer The careful translation of scientific research outputs into language the average Canadian can understand. Socio-economic impact assessment and adaptive strategies Develop an understanding of the social, economic and public policy consequences of climate change and to develop strategies to adjust to such changes. Ecological Impact Assessment Develop an understanding of how climate changes affect ecosystems and to forecast how oncoming changes in climate will affect agriculture, forestry and wildlife.

Public Education and Media Outreach Planned, coordinated construction of a complete bridge from scientific research outputs to public education and media inputs.
