Woods Hole Research Center

The Woods Hole Research Center addresses the great issues for a healthy planet through science, education and policy.

What We Do:

Center staff combine remote sensing with field research to study, model, map and monitor Earth’s land surface, and advance the knowledge gained to define solutions for sustainable well being. Current core areas for the Center include climate change, land use, and water.

Where We Work:

We work around the Earth, from local to global scales, including the Amazon and Cerrado of South America, the Congo Basin and East Africa, the high latitudes of North America and Eurasia, and across the United States. We are unique in the depth of our science capability in combination with our commitment to the environment.
