✦ Synopsis

A report developed by the National Research Council's Committee on Global Change recommending topics for focused studies. The topics are not intended to span the range of issues that need to be addressed. Rather, they are based on an analysis of the most critical gaps—areas that are not being addressed by existing programs.
