OUR RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
Transforming transportation, addressing weather
The CLEETS Global Center objectives will be achieved through research in three thematic thrusts — clean transportation choices; transport energy and infrastructure; and weather impacts — with cross-cutting analyses of common challenges to achieve energy security, inform policy development, train future scholars, and engage stakeholders.
The CLEETS Research Plan
