The Southeast Climate Consortium
operates under a broad range of program and research themes. Ranging
from general climate studies to specific applications of climate data,
the goal of our programs and research is to provide useful tools and
information to users in agriculture and other fields. The current
themes and programs of the consortium are highlighted below.
Also available are the Florida Consortium White Paper
(Adobe PDF format) and bibliography
through 2002. The Florida Consortium White Paper, published by the
predecessor to the Southeast Climate Consortium, highlights previous
progress made and research done into ongoing themes and programs of the
consortium, while the list of publications provides a bibliography of
all Florida and Southeast Climate Consortium publications.
