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.

University of Wisconsin Madison Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences
Description: Over the last 53 years, we have grown into one of the leading departments in our field of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. We have strong graduate and undergraduate programs which are nationally recognized. We graduate about 15 Ph.D. or M.S. students each year; our graduates are active in research labs and universities around the world. We graduate approximately 20 B.S. students each year; they choose options allowing a focus on weather systems or general atmospheric science.

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.

INSTITUTE OF BASIC BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
Description: The Institute (formerly the Institute of Photosynthesis of the USSR Academy of Sciences) was established in 1966 by the initiative of Academicians A.N. Terenin, A.A.Krasnovsky, E.N. Kondratieva, Corresponding-member A.A.Nichiporovich and Professor V.B.Evstigneev (the first Director of the Institute). The Institute’s staff is about 230 persons. Half of them are researches, including 1 Academician, 20 Doctors of Science and 71 Candidates of Science (Ph.D.). About 70 papers are published annually in Russian and International journals.

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.

Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry SB RAS
Description: South-taiga (geographical) field station situated in south-taiga sub-belt of Western Siberia has at hand a set of scientific equipment that permits to carry out investigations of dynamics of soil regimes and to determine emission of hotbed gases. Natural modelling is also performed here; it is based on selection of models which represent themselves chrono- topo- or other sequences that gives a chance to study soil evolution at geologically measurable periods. This station has been functioning since 1970.

School of Environmental Sciences
Description: The School of Environmental Sciences was awarded an 'excellent' rating in the most recent Teaching Quality Assessment. We are a top-rated research school graded 'double - 5*' in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise. We are one of the longest established, largest and most experienced Schools of Environmental Science in Europe. The holistic approach to our teaching, integrating physical, chemical, geotechnical, biological and social science methodology into the study of natural and human environments is truly a modern philosophy at the dawn of the new millenium.
