Geochemical Res. Dep.
Description: Geochemical Research Department covers various research areas of the chemical environment of the earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere, through the study of temporal and spatial variations in the concentrations of chemical substances. Recently, as a result of increasing human activities and the introduction of anthropogenic materials, the chemical environment of the earth has been changing rapidly. Given the scientific and public considerations involved, our recent studies have focused on obtaining precise and accurate information on the consequences of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, carbon and nitrogen cycles in the marine environment, and the exchange rate of chemical substances between the ocean and the atmosphere. We also have focused on radioactive contamination of the ocean and the atmosphere, and the behavior of natural and artificial chemicals in the air, the ocean, and the deep ocean floor.

Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center
Description: In 2000 the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) awarded a Cooperative Agreement to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, to create a center of excellence in the Earth sciences. Through this arrangement, UMBC and its partners - Hampton University, Howard University, Caelum Research Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Corporation - began to develop collaborative research programs in all areas of the Earth sciences. GEST exists under a five-year, renewable award with GSFC. This consortium between government, university and private industry is expected not only to provide a secure "home" for Earth scientists, but to synergistically foster new directions in research and technology.

Graduate School of Environmental Science
Description: Deterioration of the environment is taking place at a global scale. We are faced with problems such as global warming, endocrine disruptors, increase in ultraviolet ray, air pollution, acid rain, eutrophication of the sea and so on. These problems are caused by the interactions between the geosphere and biosphere. It is necessary to approach these problems by integrating various disciprines. We built Graduate School of Environmental Science to produce high educated researchers and specialists who can tackle in these crucial and urgent subjects. Our former organization `Graduate School of Environmental Earth Science` cooperating with Institute of Low Temperature Science, Research Institute for Electronic Science and Catalysis Research Center, had been working to clarify and resolve environmental problems. On the other hand, Graduate School of Fisheries Science and Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere had been working on the field of Environmental Science, too.Hokkaido University, therefore, with the help of National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, integrated professors from these organizations and built a new school “Graduate School of Earth Science” to provide essential education.a global scale. We are faced with problems such as global warming, endocrine disruptors, increase in ultraviolet ray, air pollution, acid rain, eutrophication of the sea and so on.

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.

Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
Description: The Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, which is part of the Met Office, provides a focus in the United Kingdom for the scientific issues associated with climate change. The main aims of the Hadley Centre are: To understand physical, chemical and biological processes within the climate system and develop state-of-the-art climate models which represent them; To monitor global and national climate variability and change; To attribute recent changes in climate to specific factors; To understand, with the aim of predicting, the natural interannual to decadal variability of climate. It currently employs around 100 staff and uses two NEC SX-6 supercomputers. Most of its funding comes from contracts with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), other United Kingdom Government departments and the European commission.
