Center for Environmental Molecular Science (CEMS) The primary mission of the Center for Environmental Molecular Science (CEMS)-a collaboration of leading research scientists at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, with additional members at Penn State University and Temple University-is to identify the molecular basis for the chemical reactivity and fate of important environmental contaminants near the Earth's surface. |

CEMS also promotes outreach
and education, including the training of future scientists. With funding from the
National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Stony Brook
University, the Center for Environmental Molecular Science brings together
researchers, educators, and students to provide a better understanding of the
environmental consequences of society's energy- and pollution-intensive activities
and to contribute to development of novel strategies for solving some of these
environmental problems. The center is directed by Richard J. Reeder, professor of Geoscience at
Stony Brook University. The Center for Environmental Molecular Science (CEMS) office is located in the Earth and
Space Sciences building room 117. Phone: 631-632-1924. |

The Mineral Physics Institute (MPI) is a research institute of Stony Brook University dedicated to understanding the present state of the Earth from its surface to its core, as well as its evolution through time. Our approach is to study Earth materials under the pressures and temperatures found within the interior. With small quantities of sample and experiments lasting hours, we try to simulate and understand the processes that control the Earth system. The institute is directed by Donald Weidner, professor of Geosciences at Stony Brook University. The Mineral Physics Institue (MPI) office is located in the Earth and Space Science building room 167. Phone: 631-632-8241. |
 COMPRES (COnsortium for Materials Properties Research in Earth Sciences) COMPRES is a community-based consortium that supports research in the materials properties of Earth and planetary interiors with particular emphasis on high-pressure science and technology and related fields. It is charged with the oversight and guidance of important high-pressure laboratories at several national facilities, such as synchrotrons and neutron sources. These have become vital tools in Earth science research. It facilitates the operation of beam lines, the development of new technologies for high-pressure research, and advocates for science and educational programs to the various funding agencies. Robert Liebermann, professor of Geosciences at Stony Brook University is the president of COMPRES. The COMPRES office is located in the Earth and Space Science building room 167. Phone: 631-632-8213. |

The Museum of Long Island Natural Sciences is associated with the Geosciences Department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, Long Island, New York. Its mission is to promote education, research, and public service in the natural sciences. In this context, the Museum: provides science education programs to the community, public schools, and general public through lectures, seminars, exhibits, films, publications, and special projects; promotes science literacy and serves as a catalyst for continued exploration in the natural sciences; and acts as a community resource on issues of science and the environment through timely dissemination of information and provision of learning opportunities for the public and other organizations, agencies and institutions. SPALLATION NEUTRONS AND PRESSURE (SNAP) The High Pressure Instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is currently being built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and after it's completion in 2006 will provide the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world. The Spallation Neutron and Pressure (SNAP) beamline at SNS is being designed for the next generation of "compact" high pressure cells. This high-pressure instrument will be dedicated to advancing the frontier of high-pressure neutron science. Capitalizing on myriad recent developments in studies of materials under pressure, the project will involve the creation of a unique instrument utilizing the high neutron flux of the SNS together with state-of-the-art high-pressure devices that will advance the current pressure range of neutron studies well beyond present limits (tens of GPa) making possible new classes of experiments. Development and construction of the beamline source, optics, and detector systems will result in at least one order of magnitude gain in flux and efficiency over all existing neutron sources. The 5-year development will establish a much needed neutron facility in this country that will advance the frontier of high-pressure science in the U.S. and set a new standard for the world community. Geology Club Homepage Long Island Groundwater Research Institute The State University of New York at Stony Brook established the Long Island Groundwater Research Institute (LIGRI) in 1994 to marshal the resources and expertise of the University for the study of groundwater hydrology and chemistry. Long Island Geologist Long Island Geologists is an organization of geologists interested in all aspects of Long Island geology and hydrology. |
