Patterns Of Change
It is sometimes hard to visualize patterns of environmental changeincluding causes and effects of changein our own neighborhoods or states. It is harder still for most people to imagine changes that occur on a continental or global scale. From the unique vantage point of space, satellite sensors give us a perspective on our world that allows us to observe and measure the myriad cause-and-effect relationships involved in environmental and climatic change. download the QuickTime software for free.

Activity 3.3 and other Soils Components
Introduction and Rationale S oil erosion is a very widespread phenomenon, and is usually irreversible. Once the nutrient-rich surface soil has been lost, the ability to sustain plant growth is severely reduced, and increased runoff from the more impermeable subsoil results in a decrease in plant-available water. Furthermore, erosion brings various associated "off-site" problems, including reduced water quality from increased sediment loads and poorer air quality due to dust. T he severity, frequency and extent of erosion will be altered by changes in rainfall amount and intensity, and by changes in wind. Global change will thus amplify many current problems of soil erosion, and as certain soil thresholds are exceeded, potentially new and different problems could arise. It is therefore crucial to understand the potential impacts of global change on soils to allow the developments in predictive capability necessary to improve their management in the future. The GCTE Soil Erosion Network is dedicated to this goal, and forms a key component of GCTEs' soil research. Objectives To design and undertake experimental and monitoring programmes to provide a predictive understanding of the impacts of changes in climate and land-use on soil erosion.

(617) 924-5723 or 926-3878 mail@watertowncitizens.org Watertown Citizens for Environmental Safety (WCES) is a grassroots group formed in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1979, in reaction to the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, in the belief that local citizens need to monitor the local environment. In the early 1980's, we became Watertown's nuclear freeze group, and we have continued to work on projects that promote environmental safety and sound environmental practices in Watertown, and to support projects which the group judges to promote social justice, world peace, and global security. Over the years, our members have been particularly active, and known in the community, for our participation in the reuse planning and environmental restoration of the Watertown Arsenal, and for our annual commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima. Several other local groups including The Recycling Committee, The El Tremedal Sister City Group, and Trees for Watertown began as projects of WCES. We are a member of the Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN) and Boston-area United with Justice for Peace, and we often support projects of Mass Peace Action, MassPIRG and the Toxics Action Center.

Welcome to the Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory! School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA)
Department of Chemistry

Atmospheric Science Program,
Department of Geography
Research in our group focuses on the characterization of the chemical mechanisms in the atmosphere that influence regional air quality and global climate change. An accurate understanding of this chemistry is essential to assess, control and predict the impact of anthropogenic perturbations on the chemical and radiative properties of the atmosphere. Research projects in our group involve laboratory experiments that isolate important chemical reactions and field measurements and computer modeling of the atmosphere.

Description
The eighth biennial issue of the most authoritative report on the global environment brings together in a highly readable format the latest ideas on a broad spectrum of natural resource issues and suggests strategies for addressing them. World Resources 1998-99 focuses on the critical issue of environmental change and human health. Drawing on the latest scientific data, this section of the Report explores how environmental conditions contribute to the current burden of death and disease around the world and how that may change over the coming decades. World Resources 1998-99 looks at several critical trends that are changing the physical environment such as the intensification of agriculture, industrialization, and rising energy use, and that have the potential to influence human health. As in previous volumes, World Resources 1998-99 also looks at the current state of the environment as it relates to population and human well-being, consumption and waste, and resources at risk. The book also contains the latest core country data from 157 countries and new information on poverty, inequality, and food security.
