The UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center’s global research extends from mountain lakes to the polar regions, where our scientists study the Arctic and Antarctic to better understand the far-reaching impacts of climate change. By examining how warming temperatures and melting ice sheets influence ocean circulation and atmospheric patterns, our researchers help reveal how changes at the poles can reshape climate systems worldwide. This global perspective strengthens our ability to interpret environmental change at Lake Tahoe and beyond, linking local ecosystems to the larger forces driving global climate variability.
