Welcome to the IGCB
A Nexus for Interdisciplinary Global Change Research
Global change is disrupting organisms and ecosystems globally. Drivers of change include climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, biotic exchange (novel pathogens, pests), land use, and more. We see these impacting our forests, croplands, lakes and rivers, oceans, coastlines, and cities.
Impacts on people and nature are, and will be, staggering - now and within the next decade—not the end of the century, as previously predicted.

The Institute for Global Change Biology
At the IGCB, our mission is to improve our ability to predict and prevent the tragic outcomes of global change.
What we do
From IGCB Director Peter Reich: Hello and welcome to the IGCB home page! We have launched several initiatives (e.g., faculty hires, postdoc opportunities, a Working Group program, an Exchange Fellows program), that you can learn about from the links below. We are excited about the community we will build to advance science, train the next generation of global change scholars, and help find solutions to our global crises. Our web site is under reconstruction, so expect to see more soon illustrating who we are and the work we are doing. Feel free to contact me directly (preich@umich.edu) if you’d like to learn more.
