This document is a compilation of publications of the Goddard Space Flight Center Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory for calendar year 2006. Each two-page entry is a cut-and-pasted extraction from a 2006 published journal article, book chapter, symposium or conference proceedings, or technical memorandum. This provides a quick, inexpensive way to communicate our research. If you wish further information, or a reprint, please contact the author of the article or the publisher. There are two sections, the first consisting of 121 journal articles and book chapters which are arranged according to the science priorities of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise:
