2014 Climate and Cryosphere Project Annual Report

The CliC 2014 Annual Report summarizers the amazing number of activities that we sponsored, supported, and in many cases, initiated over the past few years. We hope you will take the time to read the achievements, as well as our plans for the coming year(s). For more information, visit: http://www.climate-cryosphere.org
