The Western Regional Center of the National Institute for Climatic Change Research (NICCR, pronounced “nicer”) supports research on the impacts of climatic change on ecosystems, and on how altered ecosystems feed back to the climate system. The Western Regional Center covers thirteen US states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Nationally, the NICCR includes three other regional centers—midwestern, southeastern, and northeastern—as well as a coastal center.
