Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department
Description: Scientists in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry (MC&G) Department were extremely active in 2004 analyzing the chemical composition of the ocean, and its constituent sediments, rocks, and biota. While laboratory studies, modeling, and remote sensing of the ocean all are important to many of our staff, what stands out in 2004 was the wide range and number of field programs. Jeff Seewald, Katrina Edwards, and Wolfgang Bach conducted research cruises to undersea hot spots in the Pacific, where chemical and microbiological transformations at high temperature and pressure take place in and around underwater volcanic systems. Such sites are accessible several miles below the surface only by remote samplers and underwater submersibles that take measurements and collect samples for analyses.

Environmental Sciences Division (ESD), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
Description: The Environmental Sciences Division (ESD) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an interdisciplinary research and development organization with more than 30 years of achievement in local, national, and international environmental research. Scientists in ESD conduct research, develop technology, and perform analyses to understand and assess responses to global and regional change, environmental stress, and resource use. By expanding scientific knowledge and developing technological solutions, we strengthen the nation's leadership in addressing important environmental problems. We use our innovative research to meet sponsor needs and solve the most challenging environmental problems related to energy production and use and its impact on the environment. We share unique research facilities with scientific collaborators and integrate our field and laboratory research with new theory, modeling, and data systems.

University of Toronto
Description: While we have much for which to look forward, we must be diligent in attending to the urgent matters that will inform the implementation of the Budget and its impact on the University of Toronto, particularly with respect to graduate expansion; as well as the significant administrative preparations for the incoming President. These are some of the many reasons why I am so honoured to serve the University as Acting President until the end of September. During this transition period, we cannot afford missteps or loss of momentum, and I have charged myself and the University's administration to dedicate all of our best efforts to ensure a good outcome from the Province's new investment in higher education, and a smooth transition for President-designate Naylor.

University of North Dakota - Department of Space Studies
Description: Human activity in space has drawn from a
multitude of skills and a broad knowledge base. To achieve
our goals in space, or even to become fully aware of the
possibilities, our scientists, engineers, business leaders
and policy makers must coordinate efforts and properly
allocate resources. This has proven to be very difficult due
to the conflicting motivations, procedures and "languages"
employed by these groups. The Department of Space Studies
works to give students a working knowledge of the overall
picture so they can become the scientists, engineers,
planners, managers, troubleshooters, negotiators and
communicators of the space community.

Bermuda Biological Station for Research, Inc.
Description: BBSR has been a noted resource for hands-on education for decades, with graduate, undergraduate and high school students coming from around the world to study at BBSR. Although BBSR is not a degree-granting institution, students participate in BBSR summer courses for credit from a number of prestigious institutions. Since 1997, BBSR has participated in collaborative semester sessions with accredited institutions. BBSR now has collaborative programs for undergraduate students with Duke University, the University of Rhode Island, and Roger Williams University. Students in the program offered with Duke University come from a number of institutions that participate in a marine science consortium.

Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)
Description: The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is one of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Facilities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA/AOML is a part of the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and is located in Miami, Florida. AOML's mission is to conduct basic and applied research in oceanography, tropical meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry, and acoustics. The research seeks to understand the physical characteristics and processes of the ocean and the atmosphere, both separately and as a coupled system.

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.
