Climate and Environment
Exploring and addressing the national security and public health challenges from a rapidly changing environment
We explore and develop technologies to respond to national security and public health challenges in a rapidly changing environment. By leveraging APL’s technical expertise and through strategic collaborations, we deliver critical contributions to assess and respond to the effects of climate change, enhance environmental resilience, and adapt to extreme environments.
Interactive Story
Into Vanishing Ice
The melting Arctic is creating new trade, economic and operational opportunities — but also new challenges that could threaten the U.S. border and the region’s fragile ecosystem. Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL are pooling their expertise and established experience in materials, modeling, AI and sensing to develop the technology and knowledge for a sustainable and lasting foothold in this rapidly changing region.
