Abstract |
The study represents a 'first step' in the short-and long-range planning of the future of NERC-Las Vegas. The study is intended to lay the groundwork for the evolution of National Environmental Research Center-Las Vegas into a center emphasizing approaches that go beyond a particular aspect of environmental pollution-be it water, air, or land-and viewing the environment as an integrated unit. First, an extensive review was made of the programs, facilities, resources, and research capability at Las Vegas. ORM monitoring-related programs at all four NERC's were then examined with emphasis on identifying unfulfilled research needs. |
