Climate change capacity discovery: current activities and future priorities at land-grant universities in the northeast

Identifying current and future climate change work at land-grant universities is important to build regional collaborations, discover existing tools and technologies, and determine future initiatives. In addition, capturing the activities and priorities among land-grant universities provides an important basis of comparison with those of farmers, foresters, and other land managers and state policymakers. Guided by these goals, the purpose of the Capacity Discovery was to assess the current and future capacity of land-grant universities in the Northeastern U.S. to conduct research and Extension activities related to climate change in the agriculture, natural resource, and forestry sectors
