NATIONAL BIOLOGICAL SURVEY GLOBAL CHANGE RESEARCH PROGRAM Directory of Projects and Principal Investigators The NBS Global Change Research Program directory lists projects active in FY 1995. Projects are grouped according to NBS Region; within each Region, projects are grouped according to the location of the NBS research facility, field station, or Cooperative Research Unit that houses the principal investigator. In some cases, a group of several projects focus on a specific biogeographic region, and the principal investigators are at academic institutions or other non-NBS facilities. In these instances, the group of projects is associated with an NBS coordinator housed at an NBS facility.
