| National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Description: Although NOAA was formed in 1970, the agencies that came together
at that time are among the oldest in the Federal Government. The agencies
included the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey formed in 1807,
the Weather Bureau formed in 1870, and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries
formed in 1871. Individually these organizations were America's first
physical science agency, America's first agency dedicated specifically
to the atmospheric sciences, and America's first conservation agency.
Much of America's scientific heritage resides in these agencies. They
brought their cultures of scientific accuracy and precision, stewardship
of resources, and protection of life and property to the newly formed
agency. Added on: 13-Jul-2005 Hits: 129 Rating: 8.0 (1 Vote) | Details Category: Conference Partners
Cooperative Institute or Research in Environmental Sciences Description: CIRES is an internationally recognized leader in innovative earth
system sciene research committed to integrating its findings to improve
education and public awareness. We conduct research and education
that improves our understanding of the earth system. Since 1967,
the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences has provided a productive setting for collaborative research
and teaching in the wide-ranging disciplines of the environmental
sciences. Added on: 20-Jul-2005 Hits: 127

National Center for Atmospheric Research Description: NCAR is a federally funded research and development center.
Together with our partners at universities and research centers, we are
dedicated to exploring and understanding our atmosphere and its
interactions with the Sun, the oceans, the biosphere, and human society.

Integrating Worldwide CO2 Flux Measurements Description: FLUXNET,
a "network of regional networks," coordinates
regional and global analysis of observations from micrometeorological
tower sites. The flux tower sites use eddy covariance methods to measure
the exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and energy
between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.
At
present, over 250 tower sites are operating on a long-term and
continuous basis. Researchers
also collect data on site vegetation, soil, hydrologic, and
meteorological characteristics at the tower sites. To search for flux
or site characteristics data, choose
"Obtain Data" from the menu above. Added on: 09-Aug-2005 Hits: 79

Global Warming Facts & Our Future Description: Climate Warming Is a Global Problem
But the impacts and potential solutions will affect us locally
and in many different ways. The challenge for each of us and for
our policy makers is to pursue effective responses that are as
fair as possible to all people and nations.
In this exhibition the National Academies provide scientific information
to help us make informed decisions and to help answer some important
questions. Added on: 12-Aug-2005 Hits: 79

Finnish Meteorological Institute Description:
The predecessor of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the Magnetic
Observatory of Helsinki University, was founded as early as 1838.
Meteorological observations were included in the work of the
Observatory from the very beginning; later, in 1881, the Society of
Sciences assumed responsibility for the operations, and official name
was changed to the Meteorological Central Office, under which name the
Institute began to prepare daily weather information for the newspapers
of Helsinki in 1885.
In 1919 the FMI became a research institute under the Ministry of
Agriculture and later on, in 1968, it was transferred to the Ministry
of Transport and Communications.

Carbon Cycle Science Program Description: The
USGCRP budget includes $221 million in FY 2002 for research and observations
related to understanding the global carbon cycle. Carbon is important
as the basis for thefood and fiber that sustain human populations, as
the primary energy source that fuels human economies, and as a major
contributor to the planetary greenhouse effect and the potential for
climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentration have
been increasing in the atmosphere, primarily as a result of human use
of fossil fuels and land clearing, and are now higher than they have
been for at least 400,000 years. Of the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere,
about half is currently taken up as part of the natural cycling of carbon
into the ocean, and into land plants and soils. These reservoirs of
carbon are known as carbon “sinks.” Changes in land management
practices and the addition of CO2 and nutrients are known to have the
potential to enhance significantly the uptake of carbon, particularly
by forests and croplands. Added on: 09-Aug-2005 Hits: 51

Charles David Keeling: 1928-2005 Description:
Charles David Keeling, the world's leading authority on atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation
and climate science pioneer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography since 1956, died of a heart
attack on June 20, 2005 while at his Montana home. He was 77 years old.
