Institute on the Environment
 Pollution and public health, the loss of biodiversity, the food vs. fuel dilemma — all in the context of a changing climate — encompass just a few of the complexities facing today’s world. Accordingly, the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment has mobilized scholars from the natural and social sciences, design, engineering, law, health, public policy and other disciplines to collectively discover solutions and deliver results. With Minnesota’s vast forests, plains, rivers and lakes as the backdrop, these transdisciplinary teams can address the environmental impacts on America’s heartland and beyond. Essentially, the Institute serves as the gateway to and the link between “all things environmental” at the University of Minnesota, creating a national model for research, communication and implementation.
