Named in honor of explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center has been an international leader in polar, alpine, and climate research for nearly 60 years. We engage in cutting-edge research, education, and outreach that enhance OSU's programs in: polar and alpine regions, cryospheric processes, reconstruction of past climates, climate variability and change and the impacts of climate on the environment and society. We are a collaborative, interdisciplinary and inclusive community of scientists with expert project support, specialized facilities and synergistic programs that engage with a diverse audience.
