Japan starts to carve out its place in the world: environmental science
Article Abstract:
Japan has launched several environmental research efforts, though a panel of Japanese scientists discussing their country's research in Washington, DC, knew nothing about them. The Science and Technolo Agency's plans include an earth-observing satellite and the creation of 50-100 new research positions.
