متن کاملGrand challenges in migration biology.
Billions of animals migrate each year. To successfully reach their destination, migrants must have evolved an appropriate genetic program and suitable developmental, morphological, physiological, biomechanical, behavioral, and life-history traits. Moreover, they must interact successfully with biotic and abiotic factors in their environment. Migration therefore provides an excellent model syste...
متن کاملBiofuels: Grand Challenges for Biology
The development of renewable alternatives to fossil carbon–based transportation fuels has become an urgent national priority. One of the most promising options for nearterm, commercial-scale deployment is biofuel from lignocellulosic biomass (wood chips, grasses, cornstalks, and other inedible plant-based materials). Additionally, biological systems offer multiple paths to diverse bioenergy pro...
متن کاملGrand challenges in atmospheric science
As a subject of study, the atmospheric sciences encompass all the processes that occur in the atmosphere, together with its links with other systems, mainly the hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and outer space. As such it is an extensive discipline and the task of describing the main challenges is not an easy one, and entails a fair degree of overlap with some of the other grand...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Glass Science
INTRODUCTION Glass science offers researchers an ample range of open questions, starting from one of the most difficult problems in science: the basic nature of the glassy state. Atomic-level descriptions of the glassy state are extremely complex due to the lack of long-range order found in crystalline materials. Our understanding of fundamental glass physics and chemistry is also hindered by t...
