Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Description: "Do not go where the path may lead," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail." That could be the motto of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Trailblazing has been the business of JPL since it was established by the California Institute of Technology in the 1930s. America's first satellite, Explorer 1, was created at JPL. In the decades that followed, we sent the first robotic craft to the Moon and out across the solar system, reconnoitering all of the planets except one. Pushing the outer edge of exploration, in fact, is the reason JPL exists as a NASA laboratory. In that spirit, this is an exceptionally busy period for JPL in laying new paths. The Deep Impact spacecraft recently scored a phenomenal success when it blasted a crater in the nucleus of comet Tempel 1, revealing for the first time the inner stuff of these ancient wayfarers of the solar system. Another comet-chasing spacecraft, Stardust, is on its way back to Earth with a cargo of dust samples it collected when it flew by comet Wild 2 last year. The flagship explorer Cassini continues its looping orbits of Saturn, scrutinizing the ringed planet and its moons, including the haze-shrouded Titan. Like the alkaline batteries that don't give up, the Spirit and Opportunity rovers carry on in their ambles across the surface of Mars, probing rocks for signs of water in the planet's past -- far beyond the mission they were originally designed for. The Voyagers are exploring the edge of our solar system. In total, JPL has 16 spacecraft across the solar system. All these missions are part of NASA's Vision for Space Exploration, to send robots and humans to explore the Moon, Mars and beyond.

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.
