  • The IAI's Scientific Agenda is designed to be dynamic and evolving to incorporate new scientific priorities and the changing needs of countries in the region.
  • The proposed revisions to the Scientific Agenda aim to strengthen research opportunities within scientifically important biogeographic areas in the Americas and better reflect the transdisciplinary nature of IAI-supported science.
  • The revised Scientific Agenda is organized into four broad research themes: 1) Understanding climate variability in the Americas, including ocean-land-atmosphere interactions and the hydrological cycle; 2) Comparative studies of ecosystems, biodiversity, land use, and water resources across tropical, temperate, and cold latitudes; 3) Understanding global change modulations in the composition of the atmosphere, oceans, and fresh waters; and 4) Understanding the human dimensions and policy implications of global change, focusing on health, food security, and sustainability.
