Center for Environmental Policy

Engaging in the social sciences, engineering studies, and legal studies, this group examines various dimensions of environmental policy.

The Center is currently leading two working groups on particular environmental topics: climate change and water quality protection. Additionally, the Center is home to the Biofuels and Climate Change: Farmers Land Use Decisions (BACC: FLUD) project, with funding from the Kansas NSF EPSCoR program.
