The Climate Research Exchange
As a leading university Harvard is engaged in continuous research on all aspects of the environment -- from atmospheric chemistry to the changing disease patterns eminating from global climate change, from the history of environmental thinkers like Henry David Thoreau to the examination of the religious traditions of environmental perception in India. No single discipline or school can reasonably expect to encompass every aspect of environmental studies. Yet over the course of the past decade the Harvard University Center for the Environment (HUCE) has served effectively to coordinate, facilitate and enhance the research in each school and department by providing a platform for continuous exchange of information and perspectives on the environment. From its inception he HUCE has sought to develop the best technology available to support investigation and the exchange of views on environmental matters.
In this tradition HUCE is creating the Environmental Electronic Archive a repository and directory of major environmental addresses, panel discussions, speeches and digitally recorded events that have taken place in the graduate schools and departments throughout Harvard University. Through this facility the HUCE will provide both the university community and the wider world with a vital potal of access to timely and important information on major enviornmental issues of public concern.
