Submitted Oct 15, 2004 to Science Research Groups » Space Sciences On October 15, 1997, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, loaded with an array of powerful instruments, rocketed into space on a seven-year journey to Saturn and its vicinity. On July 1, 2004 Universal Time (June 30 in U.S. time zones), the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn for four years, flying close to several of its thirty-plus moons. The Huygens probe will separate from Cassini in December 2004, dive down through the thick, cloudy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, and land on Titan's surface in January 2005. Scientists expect that this extended tour of the Saturnian region will provide new information about the planets composition and atmosphere and its mysterious moons and rings. They also hope to learn more about the formation of the solar system. On this Web site (which will expand in winter 2004), we'll explore Saturn and its environs, adding new images and information as they become available.

Submitted Oct 15, 2004 to Science Research Groups » Physics Eleven dimensions, parallel universes, and a world made out of strings. It's not science fiction, it's string theory. One of the most ambitious and exciting theories ever proposedone that may be the long-sought "theory of everything," which eluded even Einsteingets a masterful, lavishly computer-animated explanation from bestselling author-physicist Brian Greene, when NOVA presents the nuts, bolts, and sometimes outright nuttiness of string theory. Also known as superstring theory, the startling idea proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strings of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. The theory successfully unites the laws of the largegeneral relativityand the laws of the smallquantum mechanicsbreaking a conceptual logjam that has frustrated the world's smartest scientists for nearly a century.

Submitted Oct 15, 2004 to Science Research Groups » Earth Science Although renowned for more than 50 years of pioneering ocean research the world over, the scientists of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have always maintained a keen interest in their own backyard - the Hudson River and Estuary. In fact, one of the first major projects undertaken at Lamont involved using the newly created tools of seismology to survey the riverbed prior to construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge in the early 1950s. Since then, a steady stream of Columbia research has delved into a wide range of river issues - from sediment transport to PCB contamination to carbon and nutrient cycles to the myriad effects of global climate change. Over the last 15 years in particular, the breadth and pace of Hudson River research at Columbia has accelerated in step with the ever-increasing development pressures born of an economic boom and a burgeoning population. With no fewer than the six major research initiatives currently underway within the Hudson River watershed, Columbia is striving to create a knowledge base that will enable more effective long-term management of this vital natural resource.

Submitted Oct 14, 2004 to Science Research Groups » Earth Science An Initiative of the Global Leaders for Tomorrow Environment Task Force, World Economic Forum. The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a measure of overall progress towards environmental sustainability, developed for 142 countries. The ESI scores are based upon a set of 20 core "indicators," each of which combines two to eight variables for a total of 68 underlying variables. The ESI permits cross-national comparisons of environmental progress in a systematic and quantitative fashion. It represents a first step towards a more analytically driven approach to environmental decisionmaking. The documents made available here provide in-depth details on the analytical framework, quantitative methodology, and data sources that underlie the ESI .

Submitted Oct 13, 2004 to Science Research Groups » Earth Science The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) enjoys a world-wide reputation as a leader in the study of active volcanism. Due to their usually benign natures, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, the most active volcanoes on the Island of Hawai`i, can be studied up close in relative safety. While observations made by 19th-century missionaries and travelers constitute a large part of the early and colorful history of volcano watching in Hawai`i, HVO's origins are rooted in a desire to use scientific methodology to understand the nature of volcanic processes and to reduce their risks to society.
