(NYT46) TEMPE, Ariz. -- Dec. 24, 2007 -- CLIMATE-RESEARCH-2 -- Vanessa Escobar leading a discussion on water management at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., in December 2007. The university set up the Global Institute of Sustainability to encourage joint efforts on climate change issues. It is a basic tenet of university research: Economists conduct joint studies, chemists join forces in the laboratory, political scientists share ideas about other cultures -- but rarely do the researchers cross disciplinary lines. The political landscape of academia, combined with the fight for grant money, has always fostered competition far more than collaboration. But the threat of global warming may just change all that. Take what's happening at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In September the school established the Golisano Institute for Sustainability, aimed at getting students and professors from different disciplines to collaborate in studying the environmental ramifications of production and consumption.
