Real-World Impacts
From hurricanes to tsunamis, oil spills to rising seas, earthquakes to volcanic eruptions, natural and man-made hazards can threaten our lives and livelihoods. And more often than not, it is critical to have timely information about these events and processes as they occur. By developing the technology to observe and understand our changing planet in real time, we can meet these challenges and advance scientific knowledge.
The interdisciplinary RTE initative supports our four other strategic initatives: Climate and Life, Anticipating Earthquakes, Extreme Weather and Climate, and Changing Ice and Coastlines
