| PREFACE |
| In
view of the increasing worldwide attention
on the global change research and the
cooperation among scientists in various
fields, the Global Change Research Center
(GCRC) was established to gather information,
to form consensus, to define research
goals, and to become a world-class research
center. Therefore, since 1989, great
efforts have been made to establish
the GCRC. Finally, on June 29, 1991,
the proposal of establishing the GCRC
was approved in the University-Affair
meeting and the Center was officially
established in August 1992. |

| ORGANIZATION |
In
order to set the courses for future
research and development, and to facilitate
cooperation with other institutes and
departments, and advisory committee
with 11 to 15members was formed. The
committee consists of representative
from the Departments of Atmospheric
Sciences, Geosciences, Geography, Oceanography,
Zoology and Botany of the College of
Sciences, and representative from the
Colleges of Engineering, Agriculture,
and Social Science. Other faculty members
are appointed from related departments
by the dean of the College of Science,
and the College of Public Health and
College of Law have priorities.
The director of the GCRC is nominated
by the dean of the College of Sciences,
approved by the advisory committee and
then appointed by the president of the
NTU. |

| Under the director, there are seven
research divisions: |
|
| (1) |
Atmospheric
Chemistry Division |
| (2) |
Climate
Change Division |
| (3) |
Ocean
Circulation and Coastal Zone Change
Division |
| (4) |
Past
Environmental Change Division |
| (5) |
Environmental
Change and Ecology Division |
| (6) |
Information
and Data Division |
| (7) |
Sustainable
Development and Economic-Social
Impacts Division |
|
|
| Each
Division consists of 5 to 20 faculty
members from various departments and
institutes. A division head is chosen
from faculty members by the director,
submitted to the dean of the College
of Sciences for the approval of the
advisory committee and finally appointed
by the president of the NTU. |

| FUTURE
PROSPECT |
| Concerning
the perspective of Global Change Research
Center, we should focus on our obligation
at present. Our tasks are to complete
on-going researches, to promote integrated
teamwork research, to enhance educational
projects, and to coordinate the international
academic exchange between scholars whose
efforts are on the subject of global
change. With its active and wide ranging
research, the Global Change Research
Center is ready to meet the challenges
of the 21st century. |
