The International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) is a leading climate and oceanographic research institution based at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Established in 1997, the center focuses on understanding the climate system of the Asia-Pacific region, including how large-scale oceanic and atmospheric processes influence climate variability and change. Researchers at IPRC study phenomena like El Niño, Pacific trade winds, and monsoon systems, providing valuable insights into global climate patterns and environmental challenges. The center’s work contributes to advancing climate models, improving weather forecasting, and addressing issues related to climate change impacts on ecosystems and human populations in the Pacific and beyond.
