In 2005, the University of Texas at Austin chartered the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy (CIEEP), to join the scientific and engineering capabilities of the University's Jackson School of Geosciences and the College of Engineering with the LBJ School of Public Affairs. The University's first center dedicated to energy and environmental policy, CIEEP will seek to inform the policy-making process with the best scientific and engineering expertise.

Under Director Charles G. Groat, former director of the U.S. Geological Survey, CIEEP is now in the process of hiring six new faculty members and initiating its first research projects.

For more information, including a list of sample projects that CIEEP plans to pursue, please contact the director.
