The Clark Labs for Cartographic Technology and Geographic Analysis at Clark University received $1.2 million in two grants, to research the impact of climate phenomena such as El Niņo affect the Amazon River area of South America and south central Africa.
The Labs will be researching the potential for a climate teleconnection-based (climate connections between fair apart geographies) early warning system for food, health and ecosystem security. The two grants, each $600,000 are from google.org., the philanthropic arm of the Internet giant, and $600,000 from the San Francisco-based Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
