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:

We combine satellite remote sensing with field research to study, model, map, and monitor Earth’s chemistry and ecology, and we use this knowledge to address the planet’s great issues, including population, peace, poverty, disease, food, water, energy, biodiversity, and climate.

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.
