Extractions: Institute Info ... Jobs The Research Unit Potsdam began work in 1992. It is financed at 90% by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology and at 10% by the State of Brandenburg. In 1996, the annual budget was 6 million DM, and the staff comprised 70 people. The main fields of research of the Potsdam Research Unit are terrestrial geoscience studies in the periglacial regions at the margins of inland ice sheets and in permafrost areas as well as model and experimental investigations of atmospheric processes in the polar regions. These studies complete the programme of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, which previously had been mainly concerned with marine studies. In particular, the polar researchers at Potsdam concentrate on the Arctic, the key to an understanding of European climate. The Research Unit is part of the science campus "Albert Einstein" located on the historic "Telegrafenberg" in Potsdam. Following institutes are located on the Telegrafenberg, too, and a close cooperation in the field of climate research exists: Fields of Research of the Research Unit Potsdam:

Extractions: Organization Chart Staff list Director : Karl A. Erb U.S. interests in the Arctic and Antarctic range across scientific research, economic development, environmental protection, foreign policy, and national security. The OPP science program recognizes the uniqueness of the polar regions as a premier natural laboratory for conducting research that can only or best be undertaken in the polar regions. These science programs approach polar research from the following three major perspectives.. Fundamental research to understand Earth and its systems: Research programs and activities, across many fields of science, explore this little-known geographic frontier to advance science and education. For example, the central Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean are the least studied regions of the world ocean, especially during the winter. Science enabled by the polar setting:

Extractions: Office of International Science and Engineering (INT) T he Earth's polar regions offer compelling scientific opportunities, but their isolation and extreme climate challenge the pursuit of these opportunities. The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports Arctic and Antarctic research and education, both to improve understanding of the regions and their relationship with global processes and to seize opportunities presented by the regions as research platforms. Support is provided for investigations in a range of scientific disciplines in the physical, biological, and social sciences. This range and the unique aspects of polar regions provide opportunities to advance discovery while promoting teaching, training, and learning. In addition to providing individual grants to scientists and educators at U.S. institutions, NSF funds contractor-provided operational support to field and laboratory science in Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and the Arctic. Foundation funding for polar research and education comes from the following sources: *Note: Although these areas of NSF do not generally offer polar-specific programs, they can consider and support polar proposals.

Extractions: The Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies (ACUNS) was founded at Churchill, Manitoba, in 1977 and was incorporated in 1978. Registered as a charitable organization, ACUNS is a voluntary association of thirty-five Canadian universities and northern colleges with northern programs and interests. The purpose of ACUNS is the advancement of northern scholarship through education and research. Operates daily scheduled airline service throughout northern Manitoba, northwestern Ontario and Nunavut. Contributes to CNSC Northern Research Fund, a matching-funds granting program available to researchers conducting research out of the Centre, by providing complimentary air tickets. Established in 1991 as the lead federal agency in the area of polar research. Responsible for disseminating knowledge of the polar regions and contributing to public awareness of the importance of polar science to Canada. Works closely with other governmental and non-governmental agencies to promote and support Canadian study of the polar regions. Provides a message forum and bulletin board related to northern issues, conferences, job postings, and grant information. The Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research (C-FIR) at the University of Winnipeg will be gathering place for forest ecology researchers from around the world. On a national level, the University of Winnipeg will now offer the wider range of forestry relevant programming within Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The CNSC is proud to have been a founding partner of C-FIR and continues to sponsor the field work of several C-FIR faculty.

Extractions: NSF, working with other organizations here and abroad, was the lead agency in establishing Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for understanding the biology of flowering plants. Arabidopsis, commonly called the thale cress or mouse eared cress, is a small annual weed that belongs to the mustard family. It has the smallest known genome of any flowering plant. In cooperation with genome centers worldwide, NSF expects that the complete genomic sequence of Arabidopsis will be available by the end of this year. Scientists have already sequenced approximately 80 percent of the Arabidopsis genome, and existing sequence data are freely available to the scientific community through public databases. Scientists are using this genetic information to explore the basic biology of all flowering plants and to engineer improvements in agriculturally-important crop plants. For instance, NSF-supported researchers recently succeeded in engineering plants that are more tolerant to cold temperatures. This work has profound implications for agricultural productivity since crops that are even a little hardier are much more likely to withstand sudden cold snaps that often cause major crop losses.
