For more than 100 years, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has focused on environmental issues important to California, the nation and the world. Pioneers in the science of oceanography, Scripps scientists were among the first to discover rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and to warn of global warming. Scripps researchers also revolutionized understanding of fundamental Earth processes, including plate tectonics and earthquakes, marine ecology, ocean waves and currents, and climate cycles such as El Niño and La Niña events. Today, Scripps has hundreds of research projects in 60 nations, on every continent, in every ocean and in space.
