MSU Researchers Receive $4.2 Million Grant for Climate Change Partnership

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded $4.2 million to researchers at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan who are working together to improve the nation’s ability to adapt to climate variability and change.
