Extractions: 3.1 Overview The database on CSIRO's international activities shows that the links with the USA, at 192, continue to outnumber and outgrow links with other countries, up from 143 last year. Similarly, Japan continues to be CSIRO's second most intensive collaborator, with 90 activities (up from 76 last year). Indonesia with 72 interactions, and China with 58, have approximately the same number of interactions as in recent years. The table at Appendix 1 shows the number of interactions with CSIRO's primary collaborator countries. It is worth noting that six out of the first nine collaborator countries are from Asia. If India is included, then ten of the 20 listed are Asian. Partly as a result of ACIAR's key role as a funder of CSIRO overseas work, this pattern broadly follows the Government's preferences for aid to the poorest regions in the developing countries of the Asia-Pacific. The small amount of CSIRO work done in Laos and Cambodia is perhaps less than might be expected given the Government's priorities, but reflects the limited scope CSIRO has to engage in scientific collaboration in the least developed areas of SE Asia. It is anticipated that this situation will change, although perhaps not rapidly. Nevertheless, the number of interactions with European countries continues to grow. There has been an increase of over 60% since 1996 reported by Divisions in the number of links with the UK, France and Germany. The Netherlands and South Africa also significantly increased links.
Extractions: DEFENSE / HOMELAND SECURITY Send to a friend Printable version The first "Rhode Island Defense and Oceanography Day" was held on Friday, June 24, at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography Campus. The event was spearheaded by the RIEDC, the Newport County Chamber of Commerce and the RI House Defense Economy Planning Commission to facilitate dialogue and further collaboration between the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) and the US Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) located in Middletown. EDC Executive Director Mike McMahon said, "We hope that such events will foster more collaborative opportunities for both organizations to work together on initiatives important to the Nation's defense and ocean science research. These collaborative efforts will strengthen the opportunities to jointly secure more federal R&D funds for innovative and applied research projects, which can establish Rhode Island as the pre-eminent State for such activities." GSO's Dean David Farmer commented that "he is hopeful that the results of the RI Defense & Oceanography Day will identify a program or programs of collaboration between NUWC and URI that have a real chance of taking off. One such example is the real opportunity to develop a world class Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) center in Rhode Island. URI is in the process of hiring a Robotics faculty, and Dr. Robert Ballard, is intent on building a strong AUV capability in learning how to use AUVs for significant scientific projects."

Division of Environmental and Evolutionary Biology, Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, UK. Centre of Excellence in Marine Biology, University of Karachi, Pakistan. Background The Indus River is one of the world's great rivers. It rises in the Himalayas, and flows throughout the whole of Pakistan before entering the Arabian Sea via the Indus delta east of the city of Karachi. The river and its impact on the surrounding countryside via its dams, barrages, and unique canal systems, affects the working conditions and living standards of virtually the entire population of Pakistan. This is particularly true of the coastal zone near Karachi, where the mangrove swamps of the Indus Delta are subjected to huge population pressures and massive pollution problems. The Indus Delta and related coastal zone constitutes one of the most globally important coastal environments for mangrove swamps and related habitats. It has extremely high levels of biodiversity, and is of great economic importance for fisheries, aquaculture and mineral resources. However it is also becoming progressively polluted by man's activities and impact, and is likely to be further endangered by the effects of global warming and sea level rise in the 21st century. Overall aims of link Major activities of the link so far A three day workshop on "Coastal Zone Management and Environmental Impact Assessment" was held in 1998 at the British Council, Karachi. This is being published as a short handbook in 2000.

Extractions: The Paleogeographic Atlas Project was begun at the University of Chicago in 1975 with the help of seed money from the Shell Development Company, and since that time has received substantial support from oil companies. Our objective has been to apply the plate tectonics paradigm to the reconstruction of the geological past in all its aspects, including sea-floor spreading, paleomagnetism, tectonics, topography, bathymetry, climate, oceanography, phytogeography and zoogeography. Our team has made primary contributions to most of these fields, but in general our work derives from the worldwide geological literature and has involved the compilation of data from some 28,000 catalogued references . Our approach is distinguished by the recognition that all of the above fields provide useful constraints for paleogeographic mapping, but also that a level of expertise is required in each field to make proper interpretations. Accordingly, our team includes tectonicists, sedimentologists, paleobotanists, invertebrate paleontologists, and climate modelers.

ASLO: ASLO hosted a panel discussion of international collaborative research programs The Division of International Programs supports an array of activities http://aslo.org/links/international.html
Extractions: ASLO hosted a panel discussion of international collaborative research programs at the 1997 ASLO meeting held in Santa Fe, NM. While there are many programs among various agencies which promote international collaborations, it is often difficult to identify the appropriate individual, program, or agency for a particular project. The goal of this panel discussion was to facilitate information exchange, and foster discussion about international collaborations and joint research projects. Representatives from the European Commission, U.S. National Science Foundation, U.S. Office of Naval Research, and the Inter American Institute for Global Change Research met and described programs and opportunities within their agencies, answered questions from the floor, and participated in discussion of issues raised by panelists and the audience. Panelists included: Elisabeth Lipiatou , European Commission, Marine Science and Technology Program Paul Filmer , Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research Polly Penhale , U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs, representing International programs

Extractions: or check the site contents Information About Us The School of Ocean and Earth Science (SOES) was formed in 1998 through merger of the former Departments of Oceanography and Geology. The School is located in a purpose-built waterfront campus with docking facilities at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOC). The NOC environment is unique within UK higher education on a number of counts: the juxtaposition of basic, strategic and applied research backed by a strong ocean engineering and technology group; the provision of facilities ranging from state-of-the-art laboratories to the National Oceanographic Library; and the disciplinary combination of oceanographers, geologists and geophysicists. The School is part of the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Mathematics which includes the Schools of Chemistry, Geography, Physics and Astronomy as well as Engineering disciplines. We have close links with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. As well as running degree courses in Oceanography, Geology, and Ocean and Earth System Science, academic staff members contribute to the teaching of geophysics and environmental sciences, the latter through the inter-departmental Centre for Environmental Science. The School is the largest single university group of marine and Earth scientists in the UK with 44 academic staff, 40 Research Fellows and Associates, 30 support staff with 99 full time postgraduate students studying for PhD degrees. There are 470 undergraduate students studying 3 or 4 year degree courses and 48 MSc students.
