    Extractions: Sustainable Development An Illustrative project Monitoring and understanding the mechanisms that destroy the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere has been the objective of four vast measurement exercises that the EU has carried out since 1991. In the middle of the Arctic winter, hundreds of scientists have been busy collecting and analysing chemical measurements taken with thousands of sensor balloons. Measurements have also been undertaken in situ, more than 20000 metres above the mountains of Scandinavia and the North Pole, using the laboratory aircraft, Geophysika. These European measuring campaigns have confirmed the extent of the recurrent thinning of the ozone layer. They have also provided a new understanding of the complex mechanisms of stratospheric chemistry - a science that is vital if we are to remedy this global change that poses a threat to the entire biosphere.

86. Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) Home
    Does research on landscape and population ecology, coastal science, and global change, particularly within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.  
    http://www.serc.si.edu/
    
    Extractions: T he Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is dedicated to increasing knowledge of the biological and physical processes that sustain life on earth. SERC's interdisciplinary research applies long-term studies to examine the ecological questions about landscapes of linked ecosystems, especially those impacted by human activities. SERC scientists use an experimental approach to discover mechanisms regulating the structure and dynamics of the environment. L ocated on the shore of Chesapeake Bay, SERC uses the geographic features of the nation's largest estuary to investigate interconnections of aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric components of complex landscapes. These studies are then compared on regional, continental and global scales. SERC develops innovative approaches and instrumentation to measure environmental change in four ecological levels: global change; landscape ecology; ecology of coastal ecosystems; and population and community ecology. F or improved stewardship of the biosphere, SERC's research provides data, publications and expert consultation in support of conservation, environmental policy and management of natural resources. Connected to an international network of collaborators, SERC trains future generations of scientists to address ecological questions of the nation and globe. SERC's education programs in ecology demonstrate to the public the active process of research, and infuse scientific approaches for environmental issues through experiencing nature.

    CIESIN Thematic Guides. OZONE DEPLETION. AND global ENVIRONMENTAL change.Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues.  
    http://www.ciesin.org/TG/OZ/oz-home.html
    
    Extractions: CIESIN Thematic Guides Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents that pertain to the issue of ozone depletion: causes, human and environmental effects, and policy responses. The 1985 report of the discovery of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica focused attention on the idea that humans can have a significant impact on the global environment. This discovery, along with evidence that ozone is being lost at nearly all latitudes outside the tropics, has prompted much research into the causes of ozone depletion and the biological effects of increased ultraviolet radiation exposure. The potential effects on humans and the environment have led to international resolutions designed to gradually phase out production of ozone-depleting substances. As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have collaborated to find safe and economical replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the manmade chemicals implicated in ozone loss. This guide contains an Overview that provides general background on key concepts and issues related to ozone depletion. In addition, four subsections explore selected topics in greater detail:

96. GECP Research-Africa
    Describes GECP research programs in Africa.  
    http://www.gecp.virginia.edu/resch/africa.htm
    
    Extractions: Africa has been identified as one of the initial focus regions for GECP research. The landscape of Africa is changing in response to a number of demographic, socioeconomic, and climatic forces. Changes in land cover and land use coupled with variability in climate directly affect the structure and function of African ecosystems and the goods and services these ecosystems supply, as well as impacting the composition of the regional and global atmosphere. GECP-Africa is focused on understanding these changes, their feedbacks, and their link to sustainability. The GECP-Africa approach is to combine satellite remote sensing, numerical modeling, and field-based process studies in an effort to improve understanding of the natural and anthropogenic systems in Africa and the processes of change at work in African regions. A major objective of the GECP effort is to develop some predictive capability with regard to these changes on both a regional and global scale. There are currently four components to GECP Africa : A brochure describing GECP-Africa is available upon request to the Global Environmental Change Program.
