• C4: The Center for Clouds, Chemistry and Climate
  We seek to integrate observations and field-tested hypotheses with models used for climate predictions. We identify gaps in current observing systems; fill these gaps with new data; and integrate these into global observing systems and modeling activities.

• California Current Ecosystem LTER
  This new NSF-funded site will build on what has been learned from the unparalleled suite of coastal observations developed by CalCOFI (the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations) since its inception in 1949, in order to understand the mechanisms leading to nonlinear transitions in pelagic ecosystems. This is a cooperative, interdisciplinary research site involving plankton and fish ecologists, deep-sea biologists, geochemists, physical oceanographers, modelers, climate scientists, and ocean informatics researchers.

• Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation
  The center works to assess the state of marine ecosystems and develop predictive models that help formulate appropriate strategies to prevent and reverse loss of marine biodiversity. CMBC trains new marine scientists capable of linking biological physical, social and informatic sciences who can communicate scientific issues in a manner that will increase public understanding and sound policy decisions.

• Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine
  Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB) is a campuswide UCSD research division dedicated to the exploration of the novel and diverse resources of the ocean. Research programs focus on marine biomedicine and marine drug discovery, with an emphasis on cancer and both infectious and inflammatory diseases. CMBB scientists investigate a wide range of biotechnologies, from the special properties of deep-sea marine microbes to the genetic engineering of commercially viable marine animals.

• Climate Research Division (CRD)
  In the Climate Research Division (CRD), scientists study a broad range of phenomena. Research themes include predicting the natural variability of climate and understanding the consequences of man made increases in the greenhouse effect. Climate change caused by human actions is the paradigm that illustrates why traditional disciplinary barriers in the earth sciences are rapidly weakening. In the climate system, the atmosphere, the seas, the land surface, and the world of living things are tightly coupled. To understand these interactions, a variety of expertise must be brought to bear through a team approach to research.
