To comply with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) direction, the Naval Postgraduate School is suspending the Climate Security Network (CSN). NPS remains committed to research and curriculum focused on the following priorities.

  • Study of the sea in support of naval warfighting has always been a focus of NPS to ensure combat advantage 24/7 in any climate and in all weather, from seabed to space.
  • Understanding and accurately predicting operational environments remains critical to effective force planning, readiness, and warfighter resilience that NPS enables as a center of academic excellence for the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense (DOD).
  • By combining rigorous academics with operationally focused research—such as ocean-atmosphere modeling, space weather, and autonomous sensing—NPS enables decision advantage, freedom of action, and combat effectiveness across all domains. Learn more about ongoing work in support of naval operations to include Meteorology, Oceanography, Energy Security, Infrastructure Defense, and related sciences.
