Seven projects related to climate change and atmospheric research are receiving a total of $32 million through the Climate Change and Atmospheric Research (CCAR) initiative. The announcements come more than two years after NSERC was provided with the necessary funding in the 2011 Budget (March 31/11), partially replacing funding lost when the federal government decided not to renew the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS) (R$, March 31/11 & January 21/13).
