The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility is a multi-platform scientific user facility that supports research for addressing the major uncertainties of climate models - clouds and aerosols. ARM provides the national and international research community unparalleled infrastructure for obtaining precise observations of key atmospheric phenomena needed for the advancement of atmospheric process understanding and climate models. Within DOE, ARM's major clients are the Atmospheric System Research (ASR), Regional and Global Climate Modeling and Earth System Modeling programs. The primary ARM objective is improved scientific understanding of the fundamental physics related to interactions between clouds, aerosols, and radiative feedback processes in the atmosphere; in addition, ARM has enormous potential to advance scientific knowledge in a wide range of interdisciplinary Earth sciences.

ESTO's Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) program employs an end-to-end approach to evolve technologies - from the space segment, where the information pipeline begins, to the end user, where knowledge is advanced.

The distributed network environment research program in the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing conducts research and development activities to support distributed high-end science in the Office of science. It focuses on end-to-end of high-performance, high-capacity and middleware network technologies necessary to provide secure access to distributed science facilities, high-performance computing recourses and large-scale scientific collaborations.

A large archive of medical images of cancer accessible for public download. Registering is free. All images are stored in DICOM file format. The images are organized as "Collections", typically patients related by a common disease (e.g. lung cancer), image modality (MRI, CT, etc) or research focus.

Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) is a collaboration of research and informatics groups to develop computational models of the interactions between infectious agents and their hosts, disease spread, prediction systems and response strategies. The models will be useful to policymakers, public health workers and other researchers who want to better understand and respond to emerging infectious diseases. If a disease outbreak occurs, the MIDAS network may be called upon to develop specific models to aid public officials in their decision-making processes. More information about MIDAS is available at the links below.

The Defense Innovation Marketplace is a centralized online resource to better connect industry with government customers to invigorate innovation.

ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy and IBM today announced an initial 32.9 million EURO, five-year collaboration to research extremely fast, but low-power exascale computer systems targeted for the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA is an international consortium to build the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope.

Home Page of sdss.org, includes introduction to project and current events The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one of the most ambitious and influential surveys in the history of astronomy. Over eight years of operations (SDSS-I, 2000-2005; SDSS-II, 2005-2008), it obtained deep, multi-color images covering more than a quarter of the sky and created 3-dimensional maps containing more than 930,000 galaxies and more than 120,000 quasars.
