Boston Community Change
"Shop Locally, Share Locally"
You care about the schools, merchants and non-profits that make up your community. Now, more than ever, the decisions that you make when you shop have a direct impact on the strength of the communities in which you live. Boston Community Change recognizes those residents that are supporting local business, and empowers shoppers to recognize those communit ...learn more

The Temperate East Asia Regional Committee for START (TEACOM) is the committee of Temperate East Asia (TEA), one of Regional Research Networks (RRNs)
Their Major activities include -
* The Predictive Study of Trends in Life-Supporting Environment in China over the Next 20-50 Years
This programme aims to scientifically evaluate the present situation of life-supporting environment (air, water, soil and vegetation) in China in regards to global change; to scientifically evaluate the integrated trend in the next 20-50 years of environmental change, under strong impact from human activities; to furnish policy-makers with the scientific research for the long-term planning of resources exploitation, environmental protection, economic development and land use management.
The assessment of the present situation and prediction of the trends of our life-supporting environment are critical and strategic for China with an ever growing population and rapid economic development. This programme stands on the frontier of modern science, integrating various branches of earth science, environmental science, biological science and social science.
This programme has established close relationships with IGBP and most of its core projects.
* Dynamics of Monsoon-Driven Ecosystem: Concept, Preliminary Evidence and Proposal for Further Research
This programme is designed to study the dynamics of an integrated monsoon system as a whole. The research addresses the following topics:
o What are the major characteristics of land surface processes in the monsoon-driven ecosystem?
o What role does the monsoon-driven ecosystem play in the global hydrological and biological cycles and what are the feedback processes to the global climate?
o How do intense human activities in the Asian monsoon region modify the monsoon system?
o The impact of a changing monsoon-driven ecosystem on agriculture, water resources and economic development in the Asian monsoon region.
To understand the monsoon system as a whole, the research aims to link the physical component of monsoon study from WCRP, the biological component of that from the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE)/IGBP and the human component of monsoon study from IHDP
