The Environmental Sciences Division (ESD) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is "an interdisciplinary research and development organization" dedicated to understanding and assessing environmental problems related to energy production and use. Six science areas form the backbone of the ESD research (and Website): Ecosystem and Global Change Science, Renewable Resources, Research and Development, Environmental Data Systems, Microbial Biogeochemistry and Biotechnology, Ecological Management Science and Technology, and Environmental Process Science and Technology. The Website includes descriptions of each of the major science areas, including purpose and scope, major research projects underway, research highlights, and a link to an alphabetical list of selected publications. An expanded section on the ESD's publications (since 1956) rounds out the site.
