Global change is a relatively new area of study.
Using information from many disciplines and the tools of mathematics, The KanCRN community seeks to determine how Earth Systems are changing. We hope to assess the influence of human activity in these changes. The following projects have been developed to create a data set. This data will be open to exploration by the community to deepen our understanding of global change issues. In an effort to meet the needs of at-risk high school students in Kansas, the Governor's office, the State Board of Education, and the University of Kansas implemented the Kansas Governor's Academy in June, 1991.
