IGBP(The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme:地球圏・生物圏国際共同研究計画)(変更) http://www.igbp.kva.se/cgi-bin/php/frameset.php
『What is our goal? IGBP’s mission is to deliver scientific knowledge to
help human societies develop in harmony with Earth’s environment.
Our scientific objective is to describe and understand the interactive
physical, chemical and biological processes that regulate the
total Earth System, the unique environment that it provides for
life, the changes that are occurring in this system, and the
manner in which they are influenced by human actions.
As one of four international global environmental change research
programmes, IGBP works towards its objective in close collaboration
with the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global
Environmental Change (IHDP),
the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP),
and DIVERSITAS,
an international programme of biodiversity science.
The International Council for Science (ICSU)
is the common scientific sponsor of the four international global
environmental change programmes.』
『IGBP
IGBP is in its second decade of research, continuing to focus
on global biogeochemistry. In order to meet the challenges of
a more integrated Earth System science, IGBP has adopted a new
structure of eight projects in total. Six projects (GLOBEC,
GLP,
IGAC,
IMBER,
LOICZ
and LUCC)
are centred on the three major Earth System compartments (ocean,
land
and atmosphere)and the interfaces between them (land-atmosphere,
atmosphere-ocean,
land-ocean).
Two projects - PAGES
and GAIM
- focus on a whole system perspective, from the past into the
future. Additionally, there are two Phase I projects that continue
to operate for the next 1-5 years within the new structure: GLOBEC
(the OCEAN project consists of GLOBEC
and the new project IMBER)
and LUCC
(part of the LAND project together with the Global Land Project,
GLP).
Four IGBP Projects (Phase I) have been completed during the
last few years: BAHC
(completed in Dec. 2003) IGBP-DIS
(completed in Dec. 2001), GCTE
(completed in Dec. 2003), and JGOFS
(completed in Dec. 2003).』 ⇒IGBP http://www.igbp.net/
