Benefits of NOAA Research

Most environmental questions are not easily answered. NOAA is committed to tackling the complex issues that only advanced scientific knowledge can adequately address. NOAA Research seeks to:

  • Provide comprehensive knowledge to guide national environmental policy decisions, including better predictions of the climate response to emissions changes, choices for protection of the ozone layer, and alternatives for developing coastal communities;
  • Improve environmental services to the nation, including reliable predictions and assessments; and
  • Promote economic growth through science for decision-making, new technology, and partnerships with academia and industry.
