In addition, its member groups produced studies in climate and society, energy problems, and water resources planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About thirty faculty and numerous graduate students from various disciplines were assisted in their research through the CENTED connection. Research affiliations developed through the World Resources Institute, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, the Beijer Institute in Stockholm, and a number of other international and American research groups. CENTED\u2019s specialized library \u2014 now the Jeanne X. Kasperson Reearch Library \u2014 quickly became one of the outstanding research collections in the United States on risk assessment, management, and emergency planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CENTED became the George Perkins Marsh Institute in 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:1rem\"><em>Source: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.clarku.edu\/clarkuhistory\/1\/\">Clark University, 1887\u20131987: A Narrative History<\/a>\u201d by William A.
