Department of Biology, University of Utah
Description: Genes, proteins, cells, organisms, populations, ecosystems: they're all part of life, and they're all studied by hundreds of undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Department of Biology. We offer exceptional opportunities for students who want to think, work and collaborate across levels of biological organization and styles of research. The links below lead to information about research projects and groups in our areas of special strength.

CSU Atmospheric Science Department
Description: The Department currently has fifteen academic faculty members who guide the graduate academic program and lead exciting research activities. There are approximately 90 graduate students enrolled in the Department in a given year. These students are integral members of the research groups. Thesis and dissertation research are focused on cutting edge research sponsored by contracts and grants. A significant number of Graduate Research Assistantships are available on an annual basis. Approximately 100 other research and support staff round out the department team.

Crop Genetics and Environmental Research Unit
Description: This Unit conducts research on crop plants to identify and characterize genes of agronomic importance, to assess the impact of global climate change on future crop productivity, to improve biological nitrogen fixation and to identify alternatives to methyl bromide for protection of crops from soil borne pests.

Colorado Water Science Center
Description: As one of 48 Water Resources Districts of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Colorado District is an integral part of a Federal agency devoted to scientific research, applied science, data collection, and information dissemination. In addition to the District program, the water resources activities of the USGS in Colorado include a Research Program, the National Water Quality Laboratory, and several project offices.

ClimatePrediction.net
Description: What is climateprediction.net?
Climateprediction.net is the largest experiment to try and produce a
forecast of the climate in the 21st century. To do this, we need people
around the world to give us time on their computers - time when they have
their computers switched on, but are not using them to their full
capacity.
Why?
Climate change, and our response to it, are issues of global importance,
affecting food production, water resources, ecosystems, energy demand,
insurance costs and much else. There is a broad scientific consensus that
the Earth will probably warm over the coming century;
climateprediction.net should, for the first time, tell us what is most
likely to happen.

Climate Research Group
Description: The climate research group (GRC) responds to the need to know more about our climate, its history and its functioning, and also the need to improve our capacity to predict climatic changes in the short term (seasonal and inter-annual), and to learn to use such predictions for the benefit of society. The ideas underlying climatic predictions are no different from those of meteorological predictions: they need appropriate data, suitable models, appropriate initialising methods and continuous research in order to improve all parts of the process. The main differences between climatic and meteorological predictions are the time scale involved, the initialising data are mainly oceanic and the prediction models basically couple the atmosphere and the oceans (Coupled GCM).

Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL)
Description: The Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, conducts sustained observations and research related to source and sink strengths, trends and global distributions of atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of Earth through modification of the atmospheric radiative environment, those that may cause depletion of the global ozone layer, and those that affect baseline air quality. CMDL accomplishes this mission primarily through long-term measurements of key atmospheric species at sites spanning the globe, including four fully-equipped Baseline Observatories. These key species include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrous oxide, surface and stratospheric ozone, halogenated compounds including CFC replacements, hydrocarbons, sulfur gases, aerosols, and solar and infrared radiation.

Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan
Description: Civil and environmental engineers design, plan and construct infrastructure systems including buildings, bridges, highways, airports, tunnels, pipelines, channels, waste-water systems, waste site, remediation systems, power generating plants, manufacturing facilities, dams, and harbors. These infrastructure systems are key to sustaining human development and activities, and civil and environmental engineers must consider technical as well as economic, environmental, aesthetic, and social aspects. Many projects are sufficiently large and complex that civil and environmental engineers seldom work alone, but usually are a part of an interdisciplinary team, and so benefit from a broad-based education.
