Their enduring curiosity about the natural world hasled them to the four corners of the earth: our scientists have been toocean depths, the peaks of the Andes, Africa's Rift Valley, theGalapagos Islands, the rainforests of South America, and to a fieldsite or research institution in your own state, territory or country.They are seeking and finding the puzzle pieces to significantquestions about vital topics such as global warming, the loss ofbiodiversity, and invasive plant and insect species that threaten ouragricultural and natural resources.Our research is known for being authoritative: the knowledge itreveals unlocks important findings and also serves as the essentialbuilding blocks for integrative, overarching scientificinterpretation. Our research leads to an understanding of processesthat shape the natural world. NMNH scientists know that to reallycomprehend the 'big picture', they can't stop at just the geological,biological or anthropological questions. The answers for today'squestions come from crossing traditional academic boundaries andintegrating multiple perspectives. And it is increasingly importantfor the nation and the world that scientific information be availableto governments and private citizens as well as other scientists.Website: 'http://www.mnh.si.edu/'[Summary provided by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.]
