Publications 1997

Annually the federal researchers at ESD publish between 35-40 refereed journal articles and 5-10 peer-reviewed book chapters. Through its extramural programs, ESD funds research undertaken in the private sector. As a result, the scientific community, at-large, is provided with extensive, current research information. A bibliography of ESD's 1997 publications is listed below. Please check back quarterly for updated information.
