Columbia Climate School's Seed Grants Advance Interdisciplinary Research
Briefly

Columbia Climate School has announced the recipients of its 2025 Seed Funding Program, awarding grants ranging from $1,000 to $7,000 to seven interdisciplinary teams. These projects aim to enhance the school's Action Collaboratives and create long-term impacts. Janice Savage, the assistant dean for research, expressed enthusiasm for supporting innovative research initiatives that tackle critical issues. Among the funded projects are studies focusing on land management in Hudson Valley and communal responses to changes in West Africa, reflecting the school's mission to foster transformative science and collaboration within its research community.
The selected projects are exploratory, mission-aligned initiatives with the goal of advancing the school's Action Collaboratives and sustaining long-term impact.
We are thrilled to support these teams as they pursue bold ideas and collaborative research to address some of the most urgent challenges of our time.
This project aims to improve land management in the Hudson Valley by developing a data-driven modeling system tailored to the region's diverse landscapes.
This research project will integrate data across the historical and earth sciences to model how marginalized communities in the peripheries of the West African coast respond to social and environmental changes.
