Extractions: Intermational Geology Office Mongolia is an inland country of the Asian continent, and as well-known, a large proportion of the land is devoted to cattle breeding. Although livestock, agricultural and forest products represent main exporting materials of Mongolia, mineral products are also important exports accounting for more than 40 % of the net exports of Mongolia. While the country is approximately four times bigger than Japan, her population density is only one person / Km2. Therefore, most of the country is not exploited and future mineral resource developments are very promising. In recent ten years the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has implemented many research cooperation projects concerning with mineral and fuel resources in several Asian countries other than Mongolia, i.e., China, Pakistan, Philippine, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These projects have been organized within the framework of the Institute for Transfer of Industrial Technology (ITIT) by the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MITI). On the other hand, the GSJ also has contributed to the technology transfer to Asian countries. The main programs are the PTTC (the Project-Type Technical Cooperation) and the Dispatch of Experts organized by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Department Of Geology -Department Information The Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center is a collaborative venturebetween the Departments of Geography, geology and Meteorology on Campus, http://www.geol.umd.edu/pages/Graduates/graduate.htm
Extractions: About the Graduate Program The Department of Geology offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. On a full time basis, the M.S. normally requires approximately two years of work, which includes courses, the completion of an M.S. research thesis, and an oral defense of the thesis. On a full time basis, the Ph.D. commonly requires two or three years of work, if conducted after the completion of an M.S. program, or four to five years from the time of admission if pursued directly from the Bachelor level. The Ph.D. program normally includes course work, a qualifying examination, a dissertation, and an oral defense of the dissertation. Our graduate program trains students to conduct independent and original research. This is most often achieved via the collaboration between students and faculty in ongoing research programs. Research follows two central themes: 1) Earth's Interior Processes, including such traditional areas as mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, structural geology and tectonics, and 2) Earth's Surface Processes, including hydrology, sedimentation, geomicrobiology, geomorphology, remote sensing and environmental change. These areas are not mutually exclusive, and students are encouraged to develop a program that suits their interests. Developing areas within the Department include planetary geology and nano-science and technology.

National Science Foundation's Division of Advanced Scientific Computing made five year awards supporting two High Performance Computing (HPC) Centers in San Diego ( www.npaci.edu ) and Champaign-Urbana ( alliance.ncsa.uiuc.edu ), to build the national infrastructure in HPC through partnerships. NSF also supports two HPC Centers in Pittsburgh and Cornell as they "ramp down" their service to the national community and transition their users, as appropriate, to San Diego and/or Champaign-Urbana. collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
TBR--Department Of Academic Affairs The outcome expected from this collaboration is that the Tennessee Board of activities include research in biotechnology, environmental science, http://www.tbr.state.tn.us/academic_affairs/initiatives/researchinit1.htm
Extractions: Tennessee Board of Regents Universities At the June 2002 Board of Regents quarterly meeting, Dr. Paula Myrick Short, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and research officers from TBR universities presented major research initiatives within the TBR system. The research officers and Board staff meet quarterly to pursue collaborative activities and to discuss various issues or topics related to sponsored research. The outcome expected from this collaboration is that the Tennessee Board of Regents universities will be competitive with its peers and recognized as among the top systems in providing sponsored research. One function of a university is to provide knowledge through research and innovative activities. These activities also augment instruction at the institution. Through research and public service activities, for example, many students participate in class-related projects or participate directly in a project as part of their scholarly work at the institution. Through their research offices, TBR universities also provide faculty and staff with opportunities for research and public service. Although other research, instructional/training, and public service activities are conducted by TBR universities, listed below is a summary of major activities.

Extractions: 3.4 South East Asia Indonesia The economic and political crises that have occurred over the past two years in Indonesia have had a significant impact on the number of interactions between CSIRO and its counterpart agencies. This has principally been as a result of the uncertainties that have occurred, and are still occurring, with the move away from the New Order Government. Ministries and Ministers have changed, heads of agencies have been replaced and organisations are still undergoing structural changes. CSIRO however maintains a firm commitment to the continuation and development of its collaboration with Indonesia and its counterpart agencies. To this end several new initiatives have been developed. The CSIRO postdoctoral fellowship scheme for Indonesia was introduced in 1999, under which a number of officials from the Directorate General for Geology and Mining (DGGMR) completed programs within CSIRO, and a staff member from the Institute of Technology, Bandung (ITB), is currently undertaking her fellowship with the Australia Telescope National Facility. A LIPI Fellowship scheme has also been introduced to complement the LIPI World Bank project managed by CSIRO. Further details about the LIPI Project are included below. With the introduction of the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the new Minister and a number of his senior officials visited Australia in June 2000 and met with staff of CSIRO. A formal Memorandum of Understanding between this Ministry and CSIRO was signed in November 2000.

Extractions: How ALERT Has Contributed to My Professional Development How Has ALERT Contributed to My Professional Mission and/or Activities? The collaboration between CSU ALERT campuses comes in many forms. Through our meetings, discussions and web pages, we have been able to see what is being done in earth science education at the various campuses. We all have our own specialties, and through these interactions, we have been able to share our knowledge and resources with each other. This sharing has enabled me to use activities developed on other campuses in my own classes, thus often finding a better way to present some concepts. In return, we have developed instructional aids that may be useful to our sister campuses. ALERT project has helped our efforts to disseminate GIS and remote sensing data over the Internet. ALERT has given us the opportunity to share ideas with our CSU colleagues, which would probably not have occurred without these interactions.

Extractions: Robert Thomas , Bates College The Botany Database, developed by Barry Logan (Bowdoin College) and Robert Thomas (Bates College) in collaboration with the Educational Technology Center (Bowdoin College), was designed to provide students with access to images (along with supporting information) used in lecture and laboratory sessions of botany courses. The WEB-based database has been used extensively in several courses at Bates and Bowdoin Colleges and student feedback has been positive. In the past year, we improved the Botany Database by initiating a comprehensive floristic survey of Bowdoin College's Coastal Studies Center (directed by Jessica Brooks, a Bowdoin College undergraduate), adding records associated with Prof. Thomas' "Plants and Human Affairs" course, incorporating images from the Kate Furbish collection, and rendering the "Search" tool more specific. In the coming year, we plan to develop a quiz tool, allowing students to examine their own knowledge of selected plant species. We also will include "Quick-time VR technology that enables a viewer to "move around" three-dimensional images of plants or plant parts from species representative of major taxa. We will also enhance the Botany Database aesthetically with a new Introductory page and overall appearance.
