Submitted Dec 25, 2016 to Science Research Groups » Earth Science Remote sensing of the Earth and other Planetary surfaces is a rapidly growing science that cuts across a wide range of disciplines, including volcanic, tectonic, biologic, oceanographic and environmental studies of the Earth’s surface, as well as the search for past and present life on other planetary surfaces. It involves multispectral, hyperspectral and thermal imaging, RADAR and LiDAR imaging, and the engineering development of new remote sensing tools. The close interaction between scientists and engineers at UCSC distinguishes this program from many others and leads to exciting interdisciplinary ventures not possible without such interactions.

Submitted Dec 24, 2016 to Science Research Groups » Science and Society Sense About Science is an independent charitable trust responding to the misrepresentation of science and scientific evidence on issues that matter to society. We do this by promoting respect for evidence and by urging scientists to engage actively with a wide range of groups, particularly when debates are controversial or difficult. We also work proactively for a wider understanding of the nature of evidence and recognition of the value of scientific enquiry.

Submitted Dec 24, 2016 to Science Research Groups » Science and Society Foresight is the leading think tank and public interest institute on nanotechnology. Founded in 1986, Foresight was the first organization to educate society about the benefits and risks of nanotechnology. At that time, nanotechnology was a little-known concept. Today, with the basic framework of public understanding in place, we are refocusing our efforts on guiding nanotechnology research, public policy and education to address the critical challenges facing humanity. Foresights new mission is to ensure the beneficial implementation of nanotechnology. Foresight is accomplishing this by providing balanced, accurate and timely information to help society understand and utilize nanotechnology through public policy activities, publications, guidelines, networking events, tutorials, conferences, roadmaps and prizes.

Submitted Dec 24, 2016 to Science Research Groups » Chemistry ISIS, the Institute For Surface and Interface Science, is the home of nanoscience on the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus. More specifically, ISIS is one of 16 Organized Research Units (ORUs) on the UCI campus. Biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers who engage nanometer-scale structures in their research also rely on many of the same tools: Scanning probe microscopes, electron microscopes, and spectroscopies including solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to mention just a few. The main point is that in nanoscience, intellectual and physical economies of scale are present. The Institute For Surface and Interface Science (ISIS) is a consortium of physicists, chemists, engineers, and biologists with common research interests in nanoscience. ISIS exists to do excellent research in nanoscience.
