In Washington, the US EPA will award nearly $17 million in Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants to universities across the country to study the consequences of climate change on air quality, water resources.

In addition, the EPA will fund studies on Climate Change and Carbon Sequestration. The carbon grants will investigate safe and effective ways to store and sequester carbon. This research will help determine if injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) deep into the ground threatens the environment and underground water resources.

More information about the grants and the grant awardees is here.
