1. The Tyndall Centre comprises nine UK research institutions. It is funded by three Research Councils – NERC, EPSRC and ESRC – and also receives some support from the DTI. III Conferencia Cientifica do LBA Brasilia, julho 2004 Integration Novelties: New thinking for Earth System modelling and climate adaptation and mitigation Sarah Cornell and John Schellnhuber Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (HQ), School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ UK

2. Our Purpose: “To research, assess and communicate from a distinct trans-disciplinary perspective, the options to mitigate and the necessities to adapt to climate change, and to integrate these insights into the global, UK and local contexts of sustainable development.” Tyndall°Centre for Climate Change Research
