About ACCESS
The focus of ACCESS is on climate related phenomena that range from the transient fluctuations in conditions on land and in the adjacent oceans, to future climate changes associated with global warming. The following activities realise these goals:

Research

Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge Transfer to the public, business community, and government officials, concerns a variety of regional and global environmental problems, for the purpose of improved management of coastal zones, fisheries, shipping, agriculture, energy, water use, etc.

Career Advancement
includes efforts to make the public at large, students in high schools, and undergraduates at universities aware of exciting developments and opportunities in the earth sciences.
