The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports research across all fields of science and engineering, from astronomy to zoology. Much of it has a role to play in helping us better understand -- and protect -- our environment. In honor of Earth Week, we're sharing stories of NSF-supported research with an environmental focus, from across the disciplines NSF funds. The infographic above describes just a few of examples, including:
- Bringing mathematics to sea ice research
- Teaching Earth Science teachers
- Outwitting poachers with artificial intelligence
