Submitted Apr 15, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Biology Located on Torrey Pines Mesa in La Jolla, California, The Neurosciences Institute is a not-for-profit research center dedicated to "high risk - high payoff" research designed to discover the biological basis of higher-level brain functions in humans. The Neurosciences Institute was established in 1981 by Nobel Laureate Gerald M. Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., the current director. The Institute is unique in that it is supported entirely by private donations, intentionally small, group-oriented, interdisciplinary; and engaged in both theoretical and experimental neurobiology. Institute scientists have been responsible for many important discoveries involving consciousness, sleep, perception, music, memory, movement, behavior, and speech.

Submitted Mar 18, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences The Berkeley Atmospheric Sciences Center is a multi-college unit at UC Berkeley, with the goal to broaden the atmospheric sciences beyond its traditional boundaries to embrace the biogeochemical frontier and the human dimension. The Center facilitates communication and integration across these traditional boundaries. In doing so, we aim to define a new paradigm for investigating changes in the atmosphere by integrating the microscopic mechanisms of chemical, physical, and biological processes with large-scale ecological and geological interactions between the geosphere, biosphere, and oceans, and how these interactions alter atmospheric composition.

Submitted Mar 18, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Earth Science The interests of the faculty cover a broad range of earth sciences. The traditional fields of petrology, mineralogy, mineral resources and structural geology are represented. Solid earth geophysics includes a unique combination of expertise in seismology, mineral physics and geodynamics. Recently we have added a marine geophysics program, an atmospheric science program and most recently a planetary science program, with links to programs in the Departments of Chemistry, Astronomy, Geography and Environmental Science and Policy Management.

Submitted Mar 14, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Space Sciences Launched in August of 2005, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is flying onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission. HiRISE will investigate deposits and landforms resulting from geologic and climatic processes and assist in the evaluation of candidate landing sites. By combining very high resolution and signal-to-noise ratio with a large swath width, it is possible to image on a variety of scales down to 1 meter, a scale currently afforded only in glimpses by landers. HiRISE will offer such views over any selected region of Mars, providing a bridge between orbital remote sensing and landed missions. Stereo image pairs will be acquired over the highest-priority locations with a vertical precision of better than 25 cm per pixel.

Submitted Feb 11, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Biology The International HapMap Project is a multi-country effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences in human beings. Using the information in the HapMap, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. The goal of the International HapMap Project is to compare the genetic sequences of different individuals to identify chromosomal regions where genetic variants are shared. By making this information freely available, the Project will help biomedical researchers find genes involved in disease and responses to therapeutic drugs. The Project is a collaboration among scientists and funding agencies from Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Nigeria, and the United States. All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain.

Submitted Feb 04, 2007 to Science Research Groups » Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences Recognizing the problem of potential global climate change, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. It is open to all members of the UN and WMO. The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. The IPCC does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature. Its role, organisation, participation and general procedures are laid down in the "Principles Governing IPCC Work"
