Technologies
Technology will play an essential role in enabling solutions to this century's most pressing environmental challenges. Technologies are used to observe and monitor the environment, provide sophisticated models of environmental processes to predict the future state of the environment and develop mitigation solutions such as carbon capture and storage. Environmental challenges need scientists working together to tackle problems.
