GLOBAL CHANGE RESEARCH AT THE U OF A:
View podcasts
of the UA College of Science
Global Change Lecture Series
Fall 2006.
Global Change research is carried out
in numerous units throughout the University of Arizona. The best place to identify the full
range of global change researchers on campus is the ISPE site:
Institute
for the Study of Planet Earth (ISPE)
ISPE is the UA's institute for "Providing
an Interdisciplinary Framework for Addressing Global Environmental
Questions."
Also learn about the
CLIMAS
project which integrates science, policy, and community issues related to
climate variability in the Southwest.
The Laboratory of Tree-Ring
Research
In 1937, the scientific study of tree-rings
in America was formalized by the creation of the Laboratory of
Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) here at the University of Arizona in
Tucson. The LTRR has become a world leader in the use of
tree rings to study global change.

-- TOMS stands for Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer. This is the
site from which one can monitor the Antarctic Ozone hole and ozone concentration
levels throughout the world. Look here to see "today's" global
and regional ozone distribution as well as the ozone levels for dates in the
past.

Ozone Overhead Site
Find the total column ozone amount
over your house (or anywhere else) using data from NASA's Ozone
Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura spacecraft. Just enter
the date, latitude, and longitude you want.
