Think tank

UNSW Climate Change Research Center

CCRC

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

UNSW CCRC is a multi-disciplinary research group. CCRC houses research expertise in the key areas Earth's climate: atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial processes. It applies basic scientific principles to pressing questions on climate dynamics, global climate change, and extremes of weather and climate. Scientists at CCRC employ a variety of research tools including global and regional models of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface, coastal domain simulations and process models. It also uses a great variety of data collected from satellites, weather stations, ships, eddy-flux towers and aircraft from regions as diverse as the Great Barrier Reef, the tropics, urban surfaces, the Tasman Sea and Antarctica.
