Institute of Observational Research for Global Change (IORGC)
Description: It is therefore anticipated to grasp the environment changes on the continent and ocean scales including such regions as the vast region of underwater, polar region, permafrost zone, tropical rainforest and alike, where the observations are conducted with enormous efforts. Based upon the observed data in such regions, we are determined to elucidate individual processes of the environment changes and interactions among them so that which can be mathematically modeled before being integrated into a global change prediction model with high accuracy.

Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University
Description: The College of Science, Tohoku Imperial University (later renamed Faculty of Science, Tohoku University) was founded in 1907. The main principles underlying its foundation are a "primary emphasis on research" and establishment of an educational institution that would "provide opportunities for study to all people, open-door." Tohoku Imperial University was the third imperial university to be established in Japan, following the establishment of Tokyo Imperial University in 1886 and Kyoto Imperial University in 1897. The College of Science, Tohoku Imperial University consisted of three departments, mathematics, chemistry and physics, and was the first college in Japan to be founded with an independent physics department. Many departments and laboratories have been added since the foundation of the College of Science, and today, the Graduate School of Science has become one of the largest science faculties in Japan, covering almost every field of natural sciences.

Pacific Northwest Research Station
Description: The Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station is part of the Research Branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and comprises ten research laboratories in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, as well as the headquarters office in Portland, Oregon. The PNW Research Station is one of eight Forest Service research facilities throughout the United States.

North Central Research Station
Description: Resource conditions are in the midst of an historic change. As 78 million new people join the planet each year, ecosystem services such as air and water purification, nutrient recycling, production of renewable goods are growing more precious and pressured. Whose job is it to ensure that ecosystems stay healthy enough for the work ahead? Here in the Midwest, this awesome responsibility rests with our clients, the people who are asked to make tough calls about natural resources every day. Consider the county commissioner who must vote on whether to replace forestland with additional housing. Or the governor who must decide whether to invite a chip mill to the state. Or the sanitarian who must lobby for a tax increase to protect a town watershed. Or the landowner who must decide to plant, harvest, or subdivide. These decision-makers are being asked to allocate precious resources, and the consequences of their decisions will reverberate for years to come.

nternational Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
Description: The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is a non-governmental research organization. It conducts inter-disciplinary scientific studies on environmental, economic, technological and social issues in the context of human dimensions of global change. IIASA is located in Austria near Vienna and is sponsored by its National Member Organizations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. IIASA's research scholars study environmental, economic, technological, and social developments. The research areas covered link a variety of natural and social science disciplines. The work is based on original state-of-the-art methodology and analytical approaches. The methods and tools generated are useful to both decision makers and the scientific community.

Laboratório de Ecologia Isotópica
Description: Initially, the Laboratory developed ambient studies directed toward the cycle of the water in two contrastantes regions of Brazil: the Northeast region, where the tonic is the water scarcity, and the Amazônia, where the paradigm biggest is the abundance of water. In the beginning of the decade of 80, beyond the cycle of the water, the cycle of carbon and nitrogen had also passed to be investigated, mainly in the Amazon region, bigger focus of attention of the researchers. Currently, beyond the continuation of the studies in the Amazon region, in last the 5 years, the basins highly "developed" of the State of São Paulo had also started to be evaluated, mainly the basins of the rivers Piracicaba and Moji-Guaçú. One more time, the contrasts between "developed basins" and almost intocadas basins had been explored, as certain sub-basins in the Amazon region.

Stanford Department of Petroleum Engineering
Description: Both petroleum and geothermal energy programs are available in Stanford's Petroleum Engineering Department. Their location in the School of Earth Sciences provides unusual opportunities for interaction with geologists, geophysicists and geostatisticians. BS, MS, Engineer and PhD programs include a wide variety of courses and research topics. In addition to courses available from other departments, petroleum engineering students may choose advanced courses in well-test analysis, thermodynamics, enhanced oil recovery, geothermal engineering, reservoir simulation, reservoir engineering, flow of non-Newtonian fluids, chemical aspects of fluid production, applied mathematics and environmental aspects of petroleum products. Current research areas of interest to faculty include well test analysis, enhanced oil recovery by in-situ combustion and by steam or carbon dioxide injection, reservoir simulation, geothermal engineering, hydrocarbon phase behavior, multiphase flow in pipes, pore level displacement mechanisms, the characterization of reservoir heterogeneities and the sensitivity of oil recovery process performance to those heterogeneities.

Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Description: In 1990 Princeton University divided Biology into the Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Molecular Biology. Since then we have grown and now consist of 18 faculty, approximately 40 graduate students, 45 postdoctoral fellows, and about 100 undergraduate concentrators. Our offices and laboratories are located in Guyot and Eno Halls, but our research often takes us to field sites in Africa, Asia and parts of North, Central and South America. Although faculty and students in the Department study a wide range of biological problems, evolution is the theme that unites us, and mixing of theory and empiricism is a style that guides us. And despite our breadth, we are deep in the areas of ecology, evolution and behavior. Many of the research projects are interdisciplinary and have resulted in strong links to the Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton’s Environmental Institute (PEI) and the Woodrow Wilson School’s Program in Science Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP). The excitement and quality of the research that is done in the Department creates an exceptional learning environment for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students. We invite you to learn more about our research activities by exploring links to the faculty and to the activities in each of our core areas—Ecology & Conservation, Evolution & Genetics, and Behavior & Physiology.
