Online reference resource covering the field of climate science. It structures the issues that “climate” presents into three threads, namely: (1) our understanding of, and response to, the geophysical and biogeochemical system, including the sensitivity of the system to external drivers and its natural variability. (2) The ubiquitous presence of communication and policymaking leads us to deal with different cultural framings of climate, as well as with the social process of climate science. (3) Finally economic and climate policy issues at the international and at the local level are considered.
Journal articles and reports covering the earth sciences, environmentalism, and sustainability, 1957-1995.
Includes primary source documents curated by a U.S. government organization that was part of the CIA monitoring publications from around the world and translating the material into English.
Digital access to text, archival primary sources, video and audio related to environmental challenges, including climate change, water/air pollution, biodiversity, conservation, agriculture, and deforestation.
The database is curated around specific environmental issues and events from the 20th and 21st centuries, focusing on social, cultural, economic, political, historical and ecological perspectives. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the field of Environmental Studies, content is drawn from the social sciences, ecology and earth science, and the humanities.
Access to authoritative bibliographies covering the field of environmental science. Environmental science arose from disparate disciplines as a distinct field in the last half of the 20th century, initially fueled by awareness of environmental degradation, risk of species loss, and global climate change. It encompasses, but is not limited to the physical sciences, the planning and social sciences, the health sciences, engineering, governance, and policy.
Research database covering all aspects of human impact on the environment. Its collection of scholarly, government and general-interest titles includes content on global warming, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling, and more.

A gateway to the international literature on the commons, common-pool resources and common property.
The Digital Library of the Commons (DLC) is a gateway to the international literature on the commons. This site contains an author-submission portal; an archive of full-text articles, papers, and dissertations; the Comprehensive Bibliography of the Commons; a Keyword Thesaurus, and links to relevant reference sources on the study of the commons. Research on commons usually focuses on some aspect of the relation between the physical resource and human institutions designed in the use and maintenance of that resource. Focus areas are diverse and multi-disciplinary, including: adaptive systems, efficiency, environmental policy, equity, experimental economics, free riding, game theory, gender, institutional design principles, new institutional economics, participatory management systems, property rights regimes, resilience, regulation, sustainability, etc.
