Climate Research and Development Program – Ariana Sutton-Grier

USGS science helps to understand the causes and effects of environmental change. Ariana Sutton-Grier is the coordinator of the Climate Research and Development Program, whose scientists focus specifically on environmental changes that have occurred in the past, are taking place now, or will occur in the future. 

“We really are doing it all—past, present, and future,” Sutton-Grier said. “We're trying to understand how things like climate change and other environmental changes are affecting our ecosystems.”
