We are at a unique point in history. Many scientific disciplines, combined with major technological advances in computing, field instrumentation and satellite observations, are coming together to forge an entirely new understanding of the Earth, and how its systems function together to sustain life and livelihood.

At SAGE, we produce cutting-edge environmental research, to expand and deepen understanding of global sustainability challenges and to help create innovative solutions. We consistently address critical problems of real-world decision-making and public policy. Our faculty, staff and students are dedicated to pushing the frontiers of interdisciplinary research, and to using this new science to make the world a better place.

SAGE can fulfill these goals with your support. Whether you would like to support cutting-edge research, innovative teaching, public outreach activities, or graduate and undergraduate opportunities, your contribution will make a real difference - both to the University and to the world. Your gift, whatever its size, is needed and greatly appreciated by SAGE.
