        |  | The Applied Physics Labratory- The University of Washingtonwww.apl.washington.edu/
 The Applied Physics Labratory- The University of Washington(APL-UW) was formed in 1943 at the request of the U.S. Navy to bring  university resources to bear on urgent WWII defense problems. From a  wartime beginning focused on effective torpedo exploders, APL-UW  initiated acoustic studies and oceanographic research programs to  understand how variations in the ocean environment affected the  performance of Navy systems.

        |   | The International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) http://www.inqua2011.ch/
 The International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) was founded in 1928. It has members from a number of scientific disciplines who study the environmental changes that occurred during the glacial ages, the last 2.6 million years. One goal of these investigators is to document the timing and patterns in past climatic changes to help understand the causes of changing climates. |  
        |  | Undergraduate Research Conference- The University of New Hampshire (URC-UNH 2011)http://www.unh.edu/urc/
 The Undergraduate Research Conference (URC), entering its  12th year in  2011, is a celebration of academic excellence at the University of  New  Hampshire. At the weeklong symposium, over 1,110 UNH undergraduate  students  from all academic disciplines present the results of their  scholarly and  creative research in one or more of over twenty  professional and artistic  venues campus-wide, making the UNH URC one of  the largest conferences of its  kind in the country.   |  
        |   | American Geophysical Union 2009http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/
 More than 16,000 geophysicists from around the globe gathered in San  Francisco for the 2009 AGU Fall Meeting. The meeting provided an  opportunity for researchers, teachers, students, and consultants to  present and review the latest issues affecting the Earth, the planets,  and their environments in space. |  |
