Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Description: Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of the oldest, largest, and most important centers for marine science research, graduate training, and public service in the world. Scripps Institution was founded in 1903 as an independent biological research laboratory, which became part of the University of California in 1912. At that time the laboratory was given the Scripps name in recognition of supporters Ellen Browning Scripps and E. W. Scripps. Scripps staff numbers approximately 1,300, including about 90 faculty, nearly 300 other scientists, and some 200 graduate students. The institution's annual expenditures total more than $140 million.

National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research
Description: NIWA’s mission is to provide a scientific basis for the sustainable management and development of New Zealand’s atmospheric, marine and freshwater systems and associated resources. Established in 1992 as one of nine New Zealand Crown Research Institutes (CRIs), NIWA operates as a stand-alone company with its own board of directors and its shares held by the Crown. The company has a staff of around 630, annual revenue of $84 million derived from competition-based research grants and commercial enterprise, and assets of $65 million (figures from 2003 Annual Report). Our science provides the basis for sustainable resource management, and our consultancy services help clients solve problems on the use and management of: Atmosphere & Climate, Coast & Oceans, Freshwater, Fisheries and Aquaculture. Spread throughout New Zealand, NIWA has its corporate headquarters in Auckland, main research campuses in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Lauder, and field offices in the smaller centres. Research vessels are maintained in Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch. The company has subsidiaries in Australia and the USA and a vessel company.

Penn State Meteorology and Atmospheric Science
Description: Environmental study and research in the Department of Meteorology spans the atmosphere, oceans, and their interplay with land, plants, and human activity. We study the fundamental properties of atmospheric and oceanic chemistry and transport; we develop combined modeling and observing systems for forecasting ozone and other pollutants and for predicting effects of future climates. Modeling is done on computers in the department and in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. Observations come from instruments, some designed and built by us, that are deployed either at local field sites or on towers, aircraft, and ships at locations all around the world. These individual efforts all contribute to one overall goal: to develop truly predictive models of Earth and its habitability.
