8. 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.

    http://nigec.ucdavis.edu/regions/west/
    
    Extractions: The primary focus of WESTGEC's research program is on regional ecosystem response in relation to actual or predicted climate change and the socio-economic implications of that response. These studies include research on both natural and managed ecosystems and are focused primarily on terrestrial (75%) and coastal margin (20%) ecosystems, with about 5% of our funding being allocated to support education on global environmental change. Another significant element of WESTGEC's research program is to provide local to regional scale data on the flux of greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide) within forest ecosystems. These data are being used in a cross-comparison analysis with other forests and other biome types being studied within the other five NIGEC regions throughout the United States. This research involves ecophysiological and eddy covariance studies at about 24 sites participating in NIGEC's AmeriFlux Network. Results of these studies will help elucidate the mechanisms by which carbon dioxide is exchanged between the landscape and the atmosphere and ultimately used to help parameterize carbon flux models and General Circulation Models (GCMs) that are realistic at both regional and continental scales.

    Extractions: About IHDP The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) was initially launched in 1990 by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) as the Human Dimensions Programme (HDP). In February 1996, the International Council for Science (ICSU) joined ISSC as co-sponsor of the Programme. At this time, the name of the Programme was changed to IHDP, and the Secretariat was moved to Bonn, Germany, through a generous grant from the German government. IHDP is an international, interdisciplinary, non-governmental science programme dedicated to promoting and co-ordinating research. Its aims are to describe, analyse and understand the human dimensions of global environmental change. IHDP's programme is designed around its three main objectives of research, capacity building and networking. Increasingly these activities are carried out in collaboration with the international partner programmes on global environmental change: the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the

    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:
