ND-GAIN: Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative
The Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative works to enhance the world’s understanding of adaptation through knowledge, products and services that inform public and private actions and investments in vulnerable communities. ND-GAIN produces the world's leading Index showing which countries are best prepared to deal with global changes brought about by overcrowding, resource-constraints and climate disruption.
ND-LEEF: Notre Dame Linked Environmental Ecosystem Facility
The Notre Dame Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility is a globally unique research facility located at St. Patrick’s County Park. ND-LEEF’s experimental ecosystems consist of two replicate watersheds, each containing a pond, stream and wetland. Ecosystems can be hydrologically connected or isolated, offering maximum flexibility in experimental design.
ECI Water Initiative
The newly launched ECI Water Initiative, led by Kyle Bibby (CEEES), brings together Notre Dame researchers working across disciplines to address water challenges including flooding, drought, water quality, public health, and infrastructure. The initiative aims to build new faculty partnerships across campus and beyond, convene experts, and support large-scale collaborative water research.
