This Ames Laboratory Program encompasses projects funded by the Department of Energy through its Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER).
Its scientific goals are as follow:
- Life Sciences: Provide the fundamental scientific understanding of plants and microbes necessary to develop new robust and transformational basic research strategies for producing biofuels, cleaning up waste, and sequestering carbon.
- Climate Change Research: Deliver improved scientific data and models about the potential response of the Earth’s climate and terrestrial biosphere to increased greenhouse gas levels for policy makers to determine safe levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
- Environmental Remediation: Provide sufficient scientific understanding such that DOE sites would be able to incorporate coupled physical, chemical and biological processes into decision making for environmental remediation and long-term stewardship.
- Medical Applications: Develop intelligent biomimetic electronics that can both sense and correctly stimulate the nervous system.
- Facilities: Manage facilities operations to the highest standards of overall performance using merit evaluation with independent peer review.
