The overall direction of this research is toward increased understanding of interactive processes in the Earth's physical environment and the development of a more coherent picture of its sensitivities to natural and anthropogenic change. The carbon dioxide greenhouse effect is a continuing source of research problems, and one of the most pressing problems is how to determine the onset of a theoretically predicted warming. Both of these topics receive considerable attention from CIRES researchers.
