It also contains questions to test the math skills you will use in introductory college level science courses ( e.g ., unit conversions , mathematical manipulation of exponential numbers , etc ) . He plans to remain in place long enough to continue implementation of ongoing interagency climate science programs and NOAA initiatives , as well as to transition his oversight of these to his replacement . Early in the talk , Hansen presented what may be the scariest graph in climate science , a 420,000 - year record of carbon dioxide and temperature , inferred from a 3.6-kilometer ice core recovered at Russia 's Vostok station in Antarctica ( see " C02 and the ' Ornery Climate Beast , ' " PDF , 631 KB ) . It has established itself as an international forum for quarterly publication of peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of farm , laboratory , zoo , wild , and companion animal welfare science , from practical husbandry to ethical debates . The center will focus on fundamental issues in fusion plasma science . As she will know the science of any subject is the law of that subject and provable . Or , a child ’ s engagement with science and her skill development may be proceeding apace in school , but if the school does not provide advanced coursework at a certain level , her chances of pursuing college or graduate school level science are significantly diminished . Applications are sought from academic institutions and groups , within the United States , which have research and educational programs in plasma science . The symposium will honor Gene Rasmusson for his varied and pioneering contributions to climate science ; his outstanding record of service to the AMS ( including a term as President of the Society ) ; his scientific influence on climate monitoring , analysis , and prediction activities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) ; and his mentorship of students and colleagues in NOAA , the University of Maryland , and the atmospheric and oceanic science community at large . This year has seen so many odd occurrences that the World Meteorological Organization , a U.N. - appointed climate science agency , released a warning about the weather . Using examples from the Y2K problem , WWW and Internet history , and global climate science and politics , I will present some organizing concepts that might orient such a revival . Many of the issues in plasma science are sufficiently complex that significant progress requires closely interacting , critical-mass groups of scientists with a broad mix of skills and backgrounds . The FSC will be a university-based center of excellence that will emphasize scientific issues that are of fundamental importance to fusion plasma science . The objective of this initiative is to establish one or two university-based Fusion Science Centers ( FSC ) , which will focus on fundamental issues in plasma science .
