Welcome to the Science pages, the section of the site that will provide you with details about a wide range of topics - everything from funding opportunities to publications.

Have a browse .... look at the different pages .... and if you dont find what you are looking for then let us know (we'll add it to the FAQ's).

The CBP-CCR was started in 2002 and will run until the end of 2007. It is supported by funding from a USAID - DEA&T collaboration with logistical support provided by the SANAP (the South African National Antarctic Programme).

The CBP-CCR was started to fulfil the following aims around which it is structured:

... to develop a deeper understanding of the potential impacts and effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystem functioning so as to be better able to predict the future course of climate change events both in the southern ocean and elsewhere;

AND

... to contribute to the development of the necessary human resource capacity that will allow South Africa to enhance its ability both to predict the impacts of climate change on its biodiversity estate, and to mitigate the effects of this change.

To meet these aims the CBP-CCR provides funding, opportunities, expertise and support to both young and established researchers.
