Nuclear resonance scattering is [an electromagnetic radiation] technique which is applied to various fields … especially … to samples under extreme conditions like high pressure, low/high temperature, high external magnetic field, confined geometries or tiny samples [which] benefit most from the outstanding properties of synchrotron radiation. Besides basic and fundamental research, NRS applications may be roughly divided into hyperfine spectroscopy and(structural) dynamics. 1, record 4, English, - nuclear%20resonance%20scattering

La diffusion nucléaire résonnante […] utilisant le rayonnement synchrotron combine les propriétés exceptionnelles de la spectrométrie Mössbauer (SM) et celles du rayonnement synchrotron […] La diffusion nucléaire résonnante est maintenant une technique standard pour toutes les sources de rayonnement synchrotron de troisième génération. Comme la spectrométrie Mössbauer, c’est une méthode d’analyse à l’échelle atomique et non destructive. Elle présente l’avantage de ne pas nécessiter l’utilisation de sources radioactives de photons [gamma] incidents, qui peuvent être difficiles à fabriquer, de durée de vie qui peut être courte et d’intensité évidemment limitée. Les applications actuelles concernent principalement deux domaines : la spectroscopie hyperfine et la dynamique structurale. 1, record 4, French, - diffusion%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20r%C3%A9sonnante

The Australian Centre for Remote Sensing(ACRES) is Australia's major satellite Remote Sensing organisation, which was established as the Australian Landsat Station in 1979. ACRES is a business unit of the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group(AUSLIG), Department of Industry, Science and Resources. British Aerospace Australia is employed under contract to provide operations and maintenance services. ACRES goal is to maintain and periodically refresh a comprehensive archive of satellite remotely sensed data over Australia to help ensure that fundamental geographic information is available for the benefit of the Australian community. ACRES primary functions are to acquire, catalogue, archive, process and distribute remotely sensed data acquired from earth observation satellites for both scientific and operational applications. 2, record 5, English, - Australian%20Centre%20for%20Remote%20Sensing

The world's terrestrial ecosystems are being subjected to changing environmental conditions of an unprecedented scale, both in their rate and in their geographical extent. The ability of human societies to ameliorate, adapt to, and benefit from these rapid changes requires fundamental knowledge of the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to the forces of global change. To answer this major research challenge, the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme(IGBP) has established a core project on Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems(GCTE). 3, record 6, English, - Global%20Change%20and%20Terrestrial%20Ecosystems
