CPRC is the longest-serving research institute at the University of Regina with a broad mandate to improve understanding of all aspects of prairie life, including its history, resources, land and people. It fulfils this mandate through supporting interdisciplinary research on all aspects of prairie life.
Several current projects focus on climate change prediction and adaptation. These include:
- institutional adaptations to climate change: comparative study of dryland river basins in Canada and Chile
- climate change and adaptive strategies for conservation area planning in grassland environments
- climate change and prairie biodiversity: prediction and adaptation.
