Climate and Energy Challenge projects address alternative energy and energy efficiency, challenges in climate dynamics and the effects of climate change on Earth’s ecosystems. Funded projects involve faculty from numerous departments at Princeton. Significant research advances to date include the discovery of fundamental controls on the ocean biosphere that will shape its response to climate change; the development of predictive modeling for plant water use and drought mortality; and the development of new diagnostics that would enable the low-emission, high-efficiency use of biofuels in transportation.
HMEI is currently accepting proposals for the Climate and Energy Challenge — visit our Call for Proposals page for details. The deadline for proposals is September 15, 2025. Questions should be directed to climategc@princeton.edu.
