Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center

SESYNC programs support the synthesis of natural and social science in addressing problems of the environment. Fostering fundamental, discovery-driven synthesis research that contributes to actionable science is central to the center's mission. SESYNC stresses the importance of identifying research priorities through dialogues with policy-makers and other audiences outside the science community. As a national synthesis center, SESYNC's facilities, computational and technical services, and programs are designed to serve the broad socio-environmental scholarly community.

For an explanation of what Synthesis means for SESYNC, please see this part of Margaret Palmer's opening remarks during our opening.
